Hi Derek,
There were 2 types of fuel tank on the Mk2 Fiesta.
The earlier one was a smaller capacity and had the side fuel gauge
sender, the later one had the top fuel sender.
The fuel pipe connect via the fuel sender so you would need to move the
fuel pipes around to swap to the other type of tank.
I think most Quantum's do use the later tank because of the higher
capacity, i know i did.
The Mk2 injection tanks (only used in Europe) have the pipes actually in
the tank and the feed pipe is a much larger dia, around 12mm from memory.
I'm not sure if there will be an aftermarket fuel level sender that is
compatible with the Ford gauge.

Dear All,
I am still researching the stainless steel fuel tank fabrication. The
local guys can definitely make them and I need to provide an old tank
as a pattern then they can be done within a couple of weeks. I can do
that but wanted to tap the club collective brain for info. We have a
2+2 & a Coupe Mark 2. I have only played with the 2+2 tank so far.
It has a standard XR2 1989 type fuel tank. I assume the coupe tank is
the same (i.e. a standard Fiesta XR2 tank) Is it? I know that some
of the other fiesta tanks look the same initially but have the
connections in different places so are not interchangeable.
Also I assume that a built in swirl-pot would be welcomed by all
regardless of the engine in your car. Is that so?
Anyone got experience with a suitable after market fuel contents
sender? I think mine has died and this is a good time to fit a new one.
I will try and get some price info in a few weeks but I do know that
they will be cheaper in larger numbers. Eddie may want a few but if
you are interested say this year please think about it and maybe we
can put in a decent size order to everyone's advantage.
Cheers,
