Smile Sapphire cosworth replacement fuel tanks

As above please, my 4x4 saff tank is past it !!
Ive been told genuine ford only , as they only ones that have correct swirl pot arrangement!
I need a proved answer please !!
I am running 400 bhp and dont want to kill my engine because of a wrong tank choice ,,,,
Reason i ask is that genuine ford tanks are no longer available....,

I got mine off eBay for about £97 i think and it seems ok. Not really tested it on the road as such but looks the part.

i got the non swirl pot one as i didnt know to look at the time but its ok if i keep over a quarter of a tank of fuel in it.. ill get another with a pot in when i get a chance tho as its only when im running low on fuel that other cars seem to want a play and i cant open mine up properly...
