gsi/gte tank is the same fitting but you also get a bolt in fuel sender, and the 2 tanks are different

the gte/gsi tank has the swirl pot and that hole is the where the sender goes and the fuel pick up pipe is part of the sender, the other bolt in sender tank has the pick up on the other side of the tank and only the gauge goes in that hole.

check the front edge of the tank, if the feed and return are both at the front of the tank it is not a gsi tank.

If both lines are at the front then it aint an injection tank.

just been out for a closer look (bloody snow) and there is a fuel line running from the in-line pump around to to where the hole for the sender is,so does this make it a gsi tank :confused: and is this gsi one the sender i need ??
