Bought a cheap one for mine and never had problems

Have heard of people saying they had probs,but on the other hand some people have said orig tanks are'nt fitted with swirl pots anyway,because fuel pump is gravity fed

£200 for Ford tank(if still avail),or £50 for pattern part and keep abit more petrol in tank,I know which I went for

Kev - It didn't have the fuel return and feed on the side where the fuel pump sat...

Ordered an 1990 injection one.... Had big hole at the top for float..One for filler neck then one near filler neck..and a small overflow.....

But no fittings near the fuel pump for the feed or return..

Sent the fooker back now and it's 11quid postage which they don't refund

Thats your problem m8,thats the tank for a 2 litre DOHC sierra with internal fuel pump/float combined

You want a F60C,take no notice of what they say about models of sierras,this is the tank that went straight on mine

Thats shit about the postage though
