He had a set of light guards too, but some other swine beat me to them

True or Lie?

Post '96 is the answer.

Ta Andy, I've bought the tank. Good news for everyone else is my original tank will be up for grabs once it's fitted. panda1408 hope it's the right one!

It will fit in the car, we just need the right sender unit for it, anyone got a link for one of those?

 

[panda panda]

Won't the one from fizzle do?

Fair shout.

Unfortunately not. Fizzle's is round and held in with a big plastic ring, this one is oval and held in with nuts!

definitely cheaper , quicker to keep current tank and use in-line electric pump.


Unless Aquamarine still have the tank and pump/sender unit from that accident damaged Trekking ( Panda Pod)

That one's fueling the Punto powered Snatch these days. - Swapped for the old carb one that went later to an Andy or two I think.
Fuel tanks moving fluidly between cars..
Sorry.

Hello folks.

I am looking for a 4x4 injection tank for a project of mine and also saw this tank. They are also for sale by a commercial outfit in Germany:
ebay link

Problem with that tank is the two large round holes on either side of it designed to couple up to the fuel evaporation recovery system. As I don't have this (no-one should in UK), does anyone have good ideas for DIY filling holes in other than weld plate over them?

Presumably the buyer of the tank in this thread will have this problem?

 

[panda1408]

I will most likely weld plates over the holes, although I think the evap fittings from a 2WD plastic tank will work if you have a tank spare. I guess you could then either use the evap system as intended or simply block off the pipes.

 

[lewey]

Cheers Freddie. It does seem as though blocking up evap pipes from 2WD could work looking at part numbers. Perhaps plating over is the better job!

 

[panda panda]

I can take the evap system off the fizz, it's approaching strip down time for the old fella.

Maybe I should just build a shed to keep all his bits in just in case?

 

[panda1408]

Vernon fitted the complete EVAP system to Project Bucket, using the fittings from a 2WD tank, I do recall he told me he had to destroy the 2WD tank to get the fittings out of it though, so I think welding or maybe brazing plates over is a better plan really.

Lewey have you got anywhere with sourcing a sender unit?

Freddy, do you mean pump or the level indicator as it is hard ( over £150) to get them both in one go.

Here is the pump only.

Thanks Jacob, I was thinking both as a complete thing, but I had forgot the level sender was separate! However looking at that one I wonder if the level sender from a 2WD spi will fit as it looks like the same fitting from memory.

 

[kolza]

The level sender length is different

I've got a unit from an injection Uno I presumed would fit, again looking at part numbers of the gasket, etc.
