RE: MK1 Gastank... HELP!

[Cory Langford <cory.langford@icbc.com>]

Well I have only installed 3 tanks.  1 on a mk1 and 2 on a mk2
scirocco.  The only difference I found is that the MK2 scirocco tank is
slightly smaller than the tank off of a Cabrio - (less gallons) but does
fit if you want to carry more fule :) (there was a recall on the cabrio
tank so you can get almost new ones at the wreckers)

Other than that, I know there was a difference with the tank on the old
'77 Automatic I changed. It sounds simmilar.  It had a bunch of lines
going into the top of the tank, where as the others did not.  I always
assumed it was a difference between auto and standard and not mk1 or mk2
tank.  

Not sure if that helps, but a little more info to confuse things..

Dan/Neil,
According to the Bentley manual:

"Exploded view of fuel tank and related parts for cars with fuel
injection
engines (Rabbit shown). Fuel tank for carburetor-equipped engines is
identical, but pump, fuel accumulator, and delivery lines shown are
unique
to vehicles with fuel injection"

From:
Rabbit, Scirocco, Jetta
Service Manual
1980-1984
Section 4, Page 8, Fig 3-2.

I know, I thought that was a little weird too.

HTH,

Randy

Neil wrote in a different e-mail:
Dude. I'm so sorry. You've got a tank from a carburated car! It doesn't
have
the return lines you need. :(

Well, with all this talk of carbs, maybe you could sell it to someone
doing
a conversion?
