Fuel tank with a built in pump

Post by justinshere »

Hey

First off this is being posted for a mate so excuse me if i have no idea...

He has a sierra with a GTI engine. He is looking fo a fuel tank that will fit thats got a built in fuel pump.
Minimal work in fitting is a MUST!
Maybe something from a Vit or something???

What fits?!?!

Any info would be great.

Cheers Justin

Coil sierra tank with a vitara pick up in it.

Coil sierra tanks were designed for EFI and the pick up has the same bolt pattern as a vitara EFI pickup. Coil tanks bolt into a leaf sierra.

The vitara pick up has a swimmer pump in it. A vitara fuel pump will flow enough fuel for a GTI engine.

You can't get easier than that.

HOWEVER - coil tanks are hard to find and vitara tanks are expensive.... but if you ask advice on what's easy to fit...we will deliver. :D


A vitara tank can be made to fit but it is a fair amount of work. exhaust, shock mounts, filler piping are all issues.

How is it mounted ... cause it is not that noisy on a VL

Aparrently the trick is to mount them on VL commodore airbox mounts - these are teeny weeny rubber isolation mounts.
