how do i know if i have an early or a late tank. my van has bits of both early and later stuff on it. 1983, was a 2.1 petrol, now a 1.9 diesel. it has an early slider on it.
is there an obvious way of telling like the handles on the sliders ?

if its got a metal filler pipe on the tank its early if plastic its the later type

size of the hole, size of the rubber seal, part number off the rubber seal

Oh, im guessing its early then.
Aidan, cant see any part number? dont think i would recognise the differnce in the hole size tbh.

any pics of early n late ?

stick a magnet on the filler tube( pipe where you stick the fuel pump nozel in when you fill up)

under the arch , if a magnet sticks its early metal and usually rusty, if not its plastic /black and late

if the tanks out measure the hole , i dont have them now but can get the measurements. very obvious

THX honey will do that xx
