The rubber seal on the tank is the same size for MK1 and MK2 so presumably the filler pipe is the same size.

But, you will need to get the matching sender and rework the fuel pipes around the tank. I'm not certain the fuel filler pipe where it goes into the tank is the same size either.

Unless you ae likely to have particular ground clearance issues it will be good. When you say yours has 'taken a beating' do you mean with the things hitting it? Reminds me of last year whilst driving my saloon I missed some debris which had dropped off a truck a short while before, but I ran over a workman's safety hat - thankfully the workman's head wasn't still in it! The hat just caught the tank and scraped along the road making an horendous racket before it came loose.

I get about 34 litres from really empty. Ed has indicated that I probably have a Mk1 tank and anything larger would not fit. I have thought about an auxiliary tank in the boot. May be the best solution. Thanks for the feedback.

However, the fuel tank has taken a beating and I wonder if I could fit the Mk 3 tank which i believe is slightly larger?
