AFAIK all the Corsa B tanks are the same... even petrol & diesel appear to be the same

thanks guys :)

hmmm thats interesting reevie, i was looking at a 2nd hand one from one thats being broken but my fears were it would do the same!! mine weeps at the seam and i cant put more than half a tank in it, although this past week it seems to be using even more so think i have an actual hole in it now!! it stinks of petrol just walking past it too so defo need to sort it!!

ste knows where windleys is, i'll send him on a mission tomo whilst im at work lol and tell him rather gladly that i'm right and hes wrong......................................again lmao

yer mine is exactly the same walk past it and it smells of petrol mines a N reg so ill give rep to the car it is 15 years old, but they are old cars now so you are bound the keep getting problems with them every now and again, i go to windleys quite alot he seems to always have alot of novas there!

According to EPC Hatch and Van have the same tank for all petrols, diesel is different. Combo/Estate and Tigra tanks are different again.

trust me mate it has its down sides lol

and regards to arguing about it we havent realy argued
my point was that i wasnt sure as i know all the corsa's are in tank pumps but i didnt know if they were like other vauxhall models of the same era where there was differences with regards to shape take offs ect

just didnt want to go riping a tank of one to get home and find out there diffrent so the easiest way to make sure its the same was to get one of a gsi but if there all the same it will make it easier to get hold of one thanks guys
