You won't have much fun with a turbo fuel pump and the fiesta tank! Get an injection tank from the 1.4i. This also has a bracket to mount the pump!

When you talk about a XR2 you mean a MK1 or MK2? Or are you talking about a XR2i?



This is a MK2 1.4i tank. There were only intank-pump tanks for the GFJ

the 1.4i was introduced in ~87. This is the tank for it. Reservoir inside, still available new and the big fuel pump fits fine

I did that... with the 1/2 tank the engine began to cut out, especially when cornering
