Hi guys,

Are all the fuel tanks from Sierra XR4i's/Cosworth's the same? If not, what are the differences?

Cheers,

Outlet pipe for the fuel pump should also be bigger on the Cossie one.
Just bought one of these:

So does the xr4i they are the same tank all with a 15mm o/d outlet 8mm o/d return

Dohc tanks have and intank pump inside a collector but can be used on a cossie with and uprated pump from a escort cossie fitted( if needed ) but will require re plumbing and re wiring

If you want to see a cossie swirl pot i can get a pic as i cut one up to fit into another tank
