Will an S5 gas tank fit onto an S4?

I just noticed a slow drip from "down below" and I have a possible S5 gas tank to replace it.

Or can you put something on it to stop the leak? (Or in it?)

Ideas?

I'd confirm exactly where the leak's from first. A split hose is far more likely than a hole in the tank, and won't be fixed by replacing the tank.

well you know if it was up to me, I'd just stop at the Kettleman city exit (which is dead half way between my house and Irvine)... and get rid of all the other stops.

But I am working on being a team player and some people have real crappy seats and mileage.

Yeah, I was going to check around the tank first, but since I live in The Rust Belt, I'd thought I'd ask about the tank.

Thanks guys.
