The low neck has a door in the side of the car next to the rear arch.

The high neck has a cap just below the side window. High neck tanks are like rocking horse shit as they where only around for a year or so.

Where is yours leaking? If it's high neck, chances are the filler pipe has rotted. You should be able to get one of ebay.

You will struggle to find a replacement turbo tank for the high neck filler cars.

Why not replace it with a tank from a mk3 injection model? Integrated fuel pump etc?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

About '89/'90 onwards, basically the facelift model with the more modern looking front end and proper front suspension.

One bit of advice, if you do fit the injection tank with the integral pump, cut a circular hole in the boot floor while the tank is out above the pump and make a cover plate for it.
There is a nice circular indentation in the floor showing you where to cut, if the indentation isn't in the earlier shell, copy its position from the later shell.

Without this hole, when the pump fails (and it will....) you have to remove the whole tank, which means dropping the subframe, to get at it. You can't cut the hole properly with the tank installed as it is so close to the boot floor you end up cutting a hole in the tank as well....

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

The 100 is a Mk 4 *wink*

It went Mk1, Mk2, Rover Metro, Rover 100.

There won't be the indent the floor of you car. I would check the tank fits and mounts properly before you cut the floor

hey apbellamy, i'm having a lil trouble with the tank in my metty. The inside is covered in rust and keeps blocking the fuel filter. Is the tank that you have free from rust and if so how much are you after for it? I'm going to have to take mine out to clean it anyway, it would make the job alot quicker if i could just swap them over.

I've never used it. I was told it was good when it was removed from the car. £20 and it's yours, not sure if I can post it or not though

Ahh yeah, i never even thought about postage. That could be a problem as you're over 300 miles from me. Umm, i'll see if i can sort something out and i'll get back to you.

It's not on the banned list for www.parcel2go.com so it might be OK to courier it

Apparently they can be a bit funny about used fuel tanks. But if you are willing to tape over the holes to stop the smell from getting out, and wrap a bit of cardboard around it then i'll sort out the courier :) How would you want paying?
