Hello all does anyone know how to remove the fuel tank from a 1990 (g) p100, do you need to remove the rear tub to get it off or can it be removed without touching the tub???????

I am changing from a diesel engine to a petrol pinto engine are all the tanks the same or do they differ from diesel and petrol models???

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP

 

Also for the swap can i use the diesel gearbox (does it marry straight up to the pinto block??) and can i use the diesel loom or is it best to change the loom

i have two p100's on the drive side by side one is diesel and the other petrol??

thanks again

 

At the risk of being completely useless, the Haynes comic has the answer to removing the tank.

Is it an EFI Pinto you're using? Even if you're not, I reckon you'll need the loom as the engine loom's integrated with the main loom.

 

no mate it is 2.0 on carb
either way i have both so no issue just seeing if anyone knows

 

how about gearbox will a diesel box marry up to a 205 pinto block??

 

take off the tub to get at the tank, 6 torx is all thats holding it, tank and box will do on either

 

bit late but the diesel box is a V6 box and wont fit the pinto without cutting the inpust shaft down and even then you need to change the B/H to a petrol one or the starter wount engauge the ringear
