Default Mk6 escort van RS2000 conversion help

Hi,

I'm converting my 1.8D dog ezzy van to a mk5 rs2000 2.0 16v.( van is mk6 shape)

I have engine, gearbox, loom, ecu, fusebox, driveshafts, exhaust, hubs,ordered coilovers for the front also have saph cossie brakes for the front, fuel tank wise I need a petrol one that will fit the van I know they done a 1.6 petrol version, but was wondering if any other tanks would fit or if anyone has done this before??? I imagine they have.

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks
