Hi last night at work my petrol tank descided to give up and spring a rather large leak
Had to leave it at work too as she spits flames every now and then
My question is are the cosworth tanks different to a std efi sierra (swirl pot), and how much should i expect to pay
Its a saph 4x4 cos by the way

Payed around Ł50 delivered to the door off internet,last year
From www.fueltanksdirect.co.uk 01422 310111
You want the F60C tank,its the one with the smaller hole in the top,because you have only got a fuel gauge sender in the top of cossie tank,some models have got an internal fuel pump so have a bigger hole for the pump to go through
Or these on E-Bay: http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/sear...ank&category0=
Deffo get a new tank strap m8,about the same price as on E-Bay from Ford if IIRC

Also the after market tanks don't have an internal filter like the ford tanks have to stop any crap going straight to the pump, so I just bit the bullet and brought FORD ( with a little help from the old man's employee discount )
