FI Fuel tank question

[kbee00]

So I have been searching for an FI fuel tank since I am coverting my '79 to FI. I was told that I have to change fuel tanks - then I am told I don't.....I thought it was simple - carb tanks are one way - FI tanks are two way since fuel is under pressure and needs a return line.

Can someone please clear this up for me? I'd rather keep my current tank - it is very clearn. But I have been chasing an FI tank.....'

Help!!

Thank you

You can keep your tank. The emissions stuff might be different and the line from the tank to the engine might be a different size but the FI pump on the stock car is an out of tank, inline pump. So maybe you have to upgrade the fuel line to a high pressure one after the pump.

Thanks Keith -

Any thoughts on why the FI and Carb tanks are different part numbers????

I dont really know, maybe they come with the sender and emissions hoses? maybe there are a few more/less connections to the tank? I am driving a carbed spider with the FI tank, I looked at my two spiders (74 and 81) and could not see a meaningful difference between the two so I just plumbed the FI tank to work with the carb, same should be easily possible with your carbed tank good luck, If you need any parts I may have them.
