djinuk 2 Posted May 14, 2008 are xs fuel tanks the same as gtis, apart from the fuel pump, will everything thats not the same simply swap over? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordfish210 20 Posted May 14, 2008 no the GTI fuel tanks have a bit more baffeling in them so are less prone to surge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swordfish210 20 Posted May 14, 2008 yeah the tank it's self is the same size and it has the same mounts. Just better baffeling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swordfish210 20 Posted May 14, 2008 the fuel pump for the carb engines is on the cylinder head. It's a mechanical diaphram type pump driven off the cam. You could wire in the electronic fuel pump to a switch or the ignition barrel. Or junk the lot for a Facet pump and a custom fuel system like i did Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andychalmers 0 Posted May 15, 2008 On my old 1600 GTI rally car I had to run at least 1/4 tank of fuel otherwise had bad fuel surges, however my current rally car is a 1400xs and that can be run till vertually empty. Just thought, with the xs the fuel may surge but with the carb having a float chamer rather than injection will probably help out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
