Fuel Tank

Post by do0zy »

Hi there,
I was just hoping someone could tell me if the fuel tank from the the e15 will work as a replacement in my e15et?
I had a quick search but could not find any info.

Thanks in advance,
dooz!

Looking through the manual, the fuel return hose on E15ET is on the fuel pump. Where the N/A is into the tank beside the float unit. I'm going off the pencil drawings in the book.

And I think the hose for the fuel pump on turbo is bigger
Other than that, the tank should be same size

Hey buddy from what ive read on these forums it will work but needs some modifications, i was in the same position as you so i did a bit of research. I was lead to believe that the na fuel tank is slightly flatter and thus will not house the larger turbo fuel pump, however this can be fixed by using a surge tank setup and external fuel pump. The tank will bolt up though for sure. Hope that helps!

Dexi is right too there is no return hose on the na fuel pump.

NA tank is smaller in volume by eer...r??? amount.
There is no surge tank built in so intank efi pumps are out.
All the NA fuewl lines are small diameter but this does not seem to be too much of a problem.

Thanks for your help guys!
Parts are really difficult to find over here in NZ, this info will give me some more options :)
