Have a fuel leak, car stinks of petrol and theres a damp patch of dirt/dust running down the side of the tank.

Any tips on replacing the tank; I've sorted another out for £25.00 which I'm picking up on Saturday.

Is it worth replacing anything else at the same time?

Replace filter too.

Tank swaps easy do tbh.
Exhaust off
Use pump to pump tank empty.
Remove filler/pipes
Undo the straps.
Drop the tank down.
