XD ute fuel tank

Recommended Posts

Bought an XD ute and the tank has been out already.

 

It has the pickup etc on the rear rather than on the top. Is this correct for a 79 XD or should it be on the top like an XF? It has been on the top in the 80/81 model XD utes I've owned.

 

I suspect this tank is from an XC or earlier as it also has the single wire gauge sender.

 

Anyone know for sure?

Mine's got about 2 Ton of parts in the tray, lol... (which is why she's on blocks) so not much help sorry.  <_<

 

Can you tell anything from underneath or do you have to remove the top cover?

Checked the manual. 6 and 8 all the same, should be on the top in an XD.

 

Must be an earlier tank.

 

I have an XF tank and pickup, I'll just have to block the return line. Or find an XD pickup and fit that. Assuming the holes the same size.

if the fuel guage works, i'd just block the return line.

common to pack up at 35+years old
