Several folks have stated MK1 & MK2 filler neck seals are the same but from what I have found this is not always the case. One complete tank & filler pipe I have is an earlier side mounted sender type - the seal on that one takes Ford mm metal filler pipe. The other tank I have in saloon is a later top mounted sender type - the seal on that one also takes a 50mm filler pipe. However the aperture diameter on these tanks where filler seal fits is completely different - the later tank is much bigger. So far I have found and tried 2 different Fiesta seals listed by suppliers. The first one supplied would be the correct one for the early type tank. The second one supplied is bigger OD but is not correct for my later tank (it takes a pipe approx 55mm diameter but fits in a smaller diameter tank aperture than aperture in my tank) . I think this type is for tanks using later plastic filler pipe So there are at least 2 types of standard Fiesta tank seal and so far I have not managed to find a seal which fits my later tank aperture - this implies my later tank is either non standard or there was at least one other type of seal used at some point in production. My old seal is rock hard but otherwise decent condition so I hope to get a reproduction made using it as template. If that fails it looks like I would need to change tank and modify filler to a setup for which seals are available ;-( John .
