very quick question, is the petrol tank on a saph the same as a 3 door?

and are 4x4 the same as 2wd?

also are non genuine tanks ok or is it best to stick to Ford ones (if they are available?)

 

A 2wd saff tank will deffo fit in a 3 door mate not sure about the 4x4 one but can't see any reason why not!
As for aftermarket tanks - i bought a new one 2 years ago when building my white 3 door and used it in that for 1500 miles and it now resides in my black 3 door and i have had no problems with it at all
I paid 89 quid for it from a Donno spares day and have seen the same trader selling them for that figure since at Donno!
Cheers Spadge...

 

i got my tank for 60 odd quid and had no probs with that

 

Ok cheers guys.

bttt though just in case someone can confirm if a 4x4 tank is the same as 2wd as someone told me the sender units may be slightly different.

 

they may possibly be different, but why not just get a 2wd drive then u know u wont have any probs.

 

mate of mine knows of a new one going cheap but isnt sure if its 4x4 or 2wd

I dont particularly need one but if I drop on one for the right money it'd be rude not to!

 

There are early and late tanks....... the only difference in the hole for the sender..... early tanks 125mm and late 50mm, the change over year is 1990

 

3 door 2wd 4x4 saff all use the same tank
same finnis list for them all 1644907 £178.13 +vat from ford

 

OK, cheers guys.

thanks for the info.

and how do I get hold of the parts disc with all finis codes and prices? or do a lot of people happen to work in ford dealers ???
