our vans use a lift pump ie (vacum)

where as a petrol car uses a fuel pump to pump the fuel into the engine bay
so you will have to make a return for the tank and also have to try and mod a petrol tank to fit like the mk5 or 6 tanks have the pumps in the tank where as a s1 or 2 have a pump on the outside

if you this makes sense lol
