If your car is running injection you need a swirl pot. It might be worth checking to see if this tank has a built in swirl pot - I doubt it but it is worth asking. You can have an external pot so it's not the end of the world if one is not built in. I will leave it to someone else to check the size for you as I don't know.

Hi Nathan

I am not sure if that tank will fit into the Roadster, can't measure mine at the mo as it is outside under a tarp

The thing that would concern me is the IVA test, in particular, the type aproval of a non automotive plasic fuel tank
Just seem to remember reading something in the IVA manual about being able to prove what vehicle the tank came from so as it's type aproval can be established !!

Personaly, I would find out for sure before you part with any wonga

I got an alloy fuel tank made to measure with internal swirl pot and baffles for £70 new.

The one in your link seems expensive for plastic. Also, if you have a plastic tank, you need a letter from the maker, saying it's suitable for petrol.

Anything "marine" is expensive.
sad really because alot of "marine" parts are generic to motoring.

My fuel tank is 24x12x9 ins and fits above the diff, it wont fit lower down as the glass tub will not fit over it.
