I seem to recall that the fuel sender in the 180B tank is compatible with the 1600 gauge. It sits on FULL for ages then drops to about 1/3 and is fairly accurate from then down to Empty.

It almost bolts in. Shave a little off the joining ridge on either side of the tank to squeeze it between the strut towers. You will see you also need to put blocks on top of the original 1600 side mounting points to raise these to the taller hight of the mounting flange. Use the 180B filler neck, it bolts in and seems to be made of more flexible hose than 1600's. 1600 ones are always very brittle and prone to cracking when pulled through the body panel. Next size up is the 60 litre tank from a 200B sedan. It's basically the right shape and the filler neck points the right way, but it will be almost horizontal from the outside filler cap to the tank entry point. The mounting is a bit harder to fabricate as this tank is originally set up as a vertical mount. 240K and 78 - 82 Skyline tanks may be worth a look also , I haven't measured them. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
