My 86 BRAT has some rust holes in the fuel tank. I took it to a shop to have it welded up, but the holes are right next to the seam between the two tank halves and the guy thinks the tank will pop apart from the heat of welding. There are no BRATs in the local salvage yards, does the tank fit from any of the other models?

IIRC, al the EA81 tanks were the same. I know for sure the coupe and hatch ones are the same.

2WD Hatch 50L, BRAT 55L, Others 60L (wagon, sedan, coupe?)

4WD Hatch 45L, all others 55L.

 

This is straight from the FSM.

You need a tank from another 4WD EA81 vehicle.

 

FWD EA81 tanks won't fit unless yours is lifted 4", as there is no dimple in the tank to fit around the rear diff.

Thanks all, I'll look for a 4wd EA81 (not hatch) tank.
