yobhgareb Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hi guys, I have bought a 2.0 liberty as an engine donor for my l series, which is the ea82 carb motor. To save a lot of hassle, could I put the liberty fuel tank under my l series ? I ask as I know there are guys on here who know the undersides of both cars like the back of their hands! any help would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Not without a boatload of modifications to the floorpan and rear suspension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 L has the tank mounted behind the rear diff. Liberty saddles it over the rear diff. Why would the L series tank cause a lot of hassle? You just need an external high pressure fuel pump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloyale Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 A tank and pump from an Fuel Injected L-series (MPFI or SPFI) will work and have baffles to prevent starvation in corners adn braking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never got fuel injection l series in the UK unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonist Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Seriously? How about turbo models? They were all EFI. There were other changes for EFI rather than just the tank. The EFI models had a bigger diameter fuel feed line. The line down on the left side chassis rail becomes the return line & one of the upper lines was replaced to become the feed line. It would be preferable to get someone to make this up for you. A brake shop should be able to recommend somene. It's the same type of piping. There is room under the back seat to install an external swirlpot sideways. Get the original Carb pump to feed it, then use an EFI pump after that. Alternatively, search for the tank, pump + bracket, lines from elsewhere in Europe (Scandinavia seems to still have a few) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
