if you try the fiesta-centre they stock a continential fuel tank as abroad they had the opion of a cfi mk2 hence the tank comes fitted with a swirl pot as std for your fuel injection.
mind you some people dont rate them and would rather fit a xr3i (mk4) or similar swirl pot in to a std tank

check this out for further info

fuel cell would be a good 1.. and seing as the floorpan will be wripped out for the tunnel may aswell channel the fuel lines in. wud want a fair big'sh tank tho.. asi expect it to gobble up fuel.

at pointing out the prop shaft..

I knew that i was just testing

well if thats the case i would it be possible to get a new tank and cut and weld a small tunnel into it for the prop?????
having never attempted such a conversion i dont know how big the rear diff is or how far it would need to sit under the petrol tank
