Default Fuel tank

I have a H plate escort rs turbo (with fuel computer) and needing to replace the fuel tank. My local motor factor lists two different ones- non efi and efi tanks. The difference is the sender hole size. Can anyone tell me which one i need. I was under the impression there was no efi rs turbos, is the efi one for the late xr3i only?

Cheers

When they ask you if its EFi its because there was actually an Escort mk 4 model called EFI,

This would NOT be the one. If I remember rightly yours would have an extra 'pipe' sticking out for the fuel return.

no, there are 2 different tanks for the rs turbo

the larger sized sender unit hole is on earlier models, the smaller sized sender unit holes is for the later 90 spec models i do believe

so, judging by it being a H plate with fuel computer, id say later spec small sender unit
