Re: Gas tanks for MkI's?

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

My mistake. I forgot about carburetted Rabbits. These tanks will be 
different than injected Sciroccos and RAbbits. Basically; if you get a 
Rabbit tank of the same general year or is injected it will fit. If you are 
trying to put a carburetted Rabbit or Scirocco tank in an injected car you 
will have to do the modification that Randy is referring to.

Injected tanks work on injected cars and carburetted tanks work on 
carburetted cars. Some modifuckation will be required to swap the 2.
