Fuel tank

[trevor_ford]

Can't find my instruction manual and I need a new fuel tank. Can anyone remember the tank used in a 1984 Mk2 Roadster? Escort van? Attached picture shows what happens when you decide to rebuild after 22 years!

Re: Fuel tank

Hi Trevor (your pic didnt stick) either escort Mk1 or Mk2 Van or Estate tank or if your feeling flush you could get a bespoke one built.

Hi Trevor,
Good picture. Just out of interest, what motor is that? I can see a SOHC and an SU carb?

Re: Fuel tank

Judging by the length of it that doesn't look like a standard tank???? How about a pic.from the rear?

Re: Fuel tank

I seemed to remember it was an Esort tank as confirmed by Ben. The filler was modified from horizontal to vertical. The motor is a 1.7 Ital.
