Angry Had a little accident, gas tank punctured

I hit some metal debri maybe from a hood of a car and punctured my gas tank on my 08 CS.. i heard something clunk but not till

4 miles later some guy is screaming on top of his lungs.."You're spraying gas all over the place..yikes.. i have wifey and Darren in the car.. sure enough i went from full to quarter tank in no time..

so 08CS still at the dealer awaiting parts.. so glad Insurance covers it

anyway..

I got scared of owning another 04 CTT , after this incident..LOL so i took an 04 A8 cpo with 30K miles.. I bought the CTT cheap enough to where i can get rid of it anytime,, i dont want to say how much, people here might get scared..


some pics of the tank from the insurance company , it's black and white
you would think the tank would be tough enough to handle ..oh well

Dude just get a new one. This is your first Cayenne, right?

In all seriousness, you musta hit something real tough for it to puncture the tank. Glad you and your family are okay.
