Posts: 2,216 Thanks: 35 Trader Rating: 3 ![]() | 4x4 Vs standard fuel tank question Now you'd think since I've restored and worked on a lot of Panda's I'd know this but could some kind should remind me. Are the tanks different between the 4x4 Pandas and the 2wd cars. Ta, Stu |

If you are still looking for a tank then Benjamin in the Facebook group "Fiat Panda Classic Owners Group UK" is giving one away that needs repair that needs collecting from Angmering, which I know is a long way from you, but if you reason with him and offer him a suitable cost he may be able to post it for you... worth a try?
