All models are same style tank. A std saloon tank would be a carb model (or SPI) so may not be suited to the LET engine you are running.

What do you want to know?

When I was jacking my car up yesterday to sort the fuel leak out, I jacked it up at the passangers side, sorted the leak and it was still missing, so I thought I would see if any of the fuel line were twisted on the drivers side under the engine bay, I was messing round there when I fitted my adjustable fuel pressure valve with gauge, anyway I jacked it up at the drivers side I looked under the car and it was pi##ing fuel out of the side which I have just sorted, but it was coming from the top of the tank dripping down, the new fuel line is spot on no leaks, its coming from the top so need to know whats on the top of the tank.

The filler neck breather exits the fr edge of the tank near the top. The pipe loops through the chassis leg & into the top of the filler neck.

Lots of people seem to be having an issue with this pipe it seems.
