1982 wagon Fuel tank fitment


Recommended Posts

Greetings,

My son is fixing up a 1982 GL 4WD wagon, and is in need of a new/different gas tank. It sat for years and the tank is all rusted, twisted off several sending unit bolts and it even had a mouse nest inside.

I can find new tanks online but only for 1985 and newer. Anybody know if they will fit? The Spectra Premium SU1A looks like the right tank except the sender is on top instead of on the rear.

Thanks for any insight!

 

I also have numerous parts to trade if someone has a useable tank.

85+ is most likely an EA82 tank, which is not quite right.

AFAIK, there are no new EA81 tanks available, you'll have to find a good used, which is tough as most junkyards drill a hole in them to drain them. Brat/Wagon are interchangeable for sure, probably sedan and coupe as well, hatchback tank is physically smaller, can be used with a plate behind it to adapt to the mounts for the larger tank (my brat has a hatch tank in it)
