I am trying to identify the fuel tank in my 1984 110 station wagon, tdi; it’s a bit of a parts bin.
The tank pick up and sender is mounted on the drivers side (LHD) around mid-tank. The top is sealed. The return line feeds into a metal elbow protruding from half way up the tank and roughly 1/4 of the way in from the passenger side. The tank is leaking, and I have already had it coated 5+ years ago. I don’t think it’s worth repairing.
I need to source a tank rather quickly. The family and I are road tripping a bit this summer and we are already 4 days delayed due to Rover issues. I finally got it running this afternoon, filled up with diesel and drip, drip, drip... I assume any of the alternative part# tanks can be fitted provided the sender is replaced? Is this an option?
Thanks again,
Henry
