Quick question about my fuel tank......

[boyd_1989]

Hi all, was just wondering if a sri tank will be better to use with my c16xe rather than my carb tank, or is there no difference? Thanks.

You need to use a injection tank, eg 1.2i Sri or GTE/GSi etc, or you have to fit external swirl pot/pump near tank to stop fuel starvation etc.

i used my carb tank but put external pump next to tank but i do get fuel starvation quite alot. whats the differance between the sri tank and the carb tank? does the sri have swirl pot inside? or? i have a sri tank here but need to know if it'll solve my problem or not. thanks

There is a swirl pot built into the injection tanks but if I was you just get a 1l swirl tank and hide it in the scuttle

If you fit the sri tank you will need to get an internal fuel pump.

Yep internal swirl pots inside, and some have a small internal pump too i think?

Thanks, and i dont think it has an internal pump ill double check though. i did want the 1.2i tank so i can use the mk3 astra mpi pump but i cant get hold of the tank, no one wants to sell me theirs lol. thanks for info... ill swap my tanks over soon and see how i get on.

Oh really, I swear the Sri tank I got had a internal pump in it.

You mean so that you can access it from the rear seats? This one is not like that.
