Due to an engine change. I need to put a later injection tank in the jambo van , other than the tank what else needs changing over for an injection tank?
Ps it's a 1984 early model van
Thanks daz

Just pump filter and fuel pipes,run the pipes through the chassis and attach to front to rear chassis rails.While you have the tank out check everything else under there , brake and clutch pipes and clips, handbrake rod and wiring.

Thanks

you'll need filler neck and associated rubbers to suit. injection tank is 86 onwards iirc and early filler necks diameter is smaller. fuel out let is 12mm as opposed to 8mm so none of your pipes will fit.

Thought there would be more to it
Fuel lines are being replaced anyway

Later 'narrower' plastic filler neck...no bad thing TBH.

I left the tank alone, just fitted a swirl pot and pump.

Interesting kev , sorry for sounding thick , ( not hard for me) but swirl pot ? How does that work and where does it fit ? I would also need to provide a return from the injection system .

Yeah You can buy external swirl pots off the shelf for injection engines and VW specific.
Golf 1.8i pots are cheap and work well.
You just have to find a place to mount it near the tank
All the connections are there.

Just google swirl pot.

or vw golf mk2 gti fuel pump - takes fuel from tank into pump then out to engine - the surplus from the engine goes back to pump and the surplus from that goes back to tank thus keeping pump housing full at all times even round fast corners!

Thanks guys .
I need to get moving on this not touched it since New Year's Day

I changed the tank to one with a bigger outlet , haven't bothered with a swirl pot as I wouldn't of thought I'd be cornering that fast in the van to cause problems , I could be wrong but only time will tell, has anyone had problems with fuel slosh ???? , if it's a problem I'll steal one from my other subarus

Oh now you're just showing off

If it has a bigger outlet chances are it's an injection tank, which has an internal swirl pot.
