Feul Tank 740

Is the fuel tank the same in the saloon as the estate.
If no, is the fuel pump in the tank the same on both models.

The tanks are the same, as are the senders and pumps, for a given engine and model year. But the senders and pumps have some changes with engine type and year.

Mike.
I have the option of spares from a saloon mine is an estate which is the same year and engine size so I should will be O.K for the fuel tank pump also the external fuel pump.

Can you swap them around ? Can you swap them if you keep matching pump, sender and tank together?

I've got ('89 estate) a dodgy fuel gauge - no idea why as yet. If I were to fit the "wrong" sender, would this cause mis-readings ?

Believe it or not, some senders work "backwards" relative to the others. This way the gauge reads empty when the tank is full and vice versa. Also keep in mind that some of the non turbos have the Regina fuel system which only has the one tank pump.
