Im sure you can use that tank if its a internal fuel pump one you will just have to get a better internal fuel pump. Its been a while sine I done one but im sure I used a cavy v6 internal pump on a 1.2 tank if thats any help to you

But the MPi (GTE 1.6) tank is better suited ultimately. It has an internal swirl pot pick up for the fuel supply.
