How do I Install a Gas Tank in a 1982 Corvette
The 1982 Corvette was manufactured with only an automatic transmission available. It was the first time since the Corvettes introduction in 1955 that Chevrolet did not offer a manual transmission option. The 1982 Corvettes gas tank is mounted under the rear of car. Occasionally, your gas tank will require replacement due to rust, corrosion or damage.
