Defective gas tanks in v70 awd? V70-XC70 1998

Hi folks-
I talked to an owner of a 98 v70 awd R earlier this week and he said that he had had FIVE gas tanks installed in his car. He said that because the awd v70's (NOT just awd R) were lower to the ground than the regular v70's and Cross Country's, they had specially made gas tanks that were made by a different supplier. He said that he'd was on his 5th gas tank in 35K miles. (The tanks all leaked gas.)

Is this common in 98 awd and awd R's? (as opposed to cross countrys, fwd cars) Is it common in 99's?

would like to get an awd R and so my inquiring mind wants to know.

thanks!
Dan
