Have just got a tank to replace existing (mk2 xr2). I thought it was the same but apears to be slightly different. Its off a diesel and although same shape & size it takes its fuel off the bottom rather than top. Looks to be a simple case of blocking off bottom outlet and swaping the fuel sender for the old xr2 one. Has anyone done simmilar or come across this before? Be gratefull for any advice.
Thanks,
Paul.

I don't know about the Diesels as I've never had much of a chance to look around one.

But earlier Mk2 Fiesta's had a 34 litre tank.
Later one's a 40litre tank.

All Mk2 XR2's were 40 litre.

The 34 and 40 litre tanks differed in size ( obviously ) as did the filler neck and the sender.
I don't know about the inlet/outlet pipes to be honest.

Thanks Jason,
Its pretty much the same tank from what I can see other than only 1 pipe (return) in sender unit and has an outlet in bottom of tank. The deisel was apparently left hand drive which is probably why the tank is in ok condition. I think blanking the pipe and swapping the sender shound do the trick.
