I can confirm that the early MK 1 filler pipe rubber grommet (that was on
eBay) Does fit the 40L XR2 tank with the metal filler pipe.
Just put the grommet in a bucket of boiling water for about 5 mins to soften
it, then Quickly fit it into the tank and then Wack the metal pipe in with a
bit of washing up liquid to help it in.
Thanks to Eddie I now have a fuel tank fitted that Doesn't have a HUGE dent
in it :)

I believe it was 86, there were quite a few small changes in 86
The XR2 tank was always 40L but the filler pipe changed from metal to
plastic in 86 and the size of the grommet changed at the same time.
Also the sender moved from the side to the top of the tank.

So when did they change between plastic pipe and metal pipe?

If the tank is the later one with the sender in the top then it should
take
40 litres.
The earlier non xr2 one with the side sender is 34 Litre.
Those seals are very hard to find, especially as there are 2 different
sizes
depending if you have a metal or plastic filler pipe.
Ford only i think, and probably obsolete.
There is a early tank NOS one on Ebay at the moment.

Hi all,
I've recently had my 2+2 tank out to fit a new level sender for my VDO
gauges.
In calibrating the level, I noticed with 35 litres in the tank the fluid
sits just level with the bottom of the filler hole, meaning there is a
fair
bit of "air" still left in the tank (about 10cm). Is it normal to have an
air space at the top of a fuel tank?
Also, the rubber ring which seals the filler pipe to the tank is hard (26
years old!) so was wondering if any of you bright sparks knew of any
"gunk"
which is fuel safe which I could use to seal it?
If not, is this seal still available new, or an alternative?
Cheers, Tom
