April 2, 20205 yr Can anyone tell me if a fuel tank from a 88’ Ea82 wagon has baffles or not and whether or not it will fit into a 82’ wagon? Thanks, Gibby
April 2, 20205 yr Depends on the injection system in the EA82. Carb'd tank will not have baffles. Not a direct replacement, but if you're lifting the wagon, you have a lot more real estate to make it work.
April 2, 20205 yr As carfreak said - not bolt in. Some custom mounts will be needed if it fits in the cavity at all. Cheers Bennie
April 3, 20205 yr Author Are there baffled tanks that would be a direct bolt in for an 82 wagon that are readily available?

They would only come from an 83-84 EA81T-powered car, which aren't that plentiful anyway. You might be able to find a replacement tank, but as stated above, a simple surge tank or fuel cell would be simpler to track down.
April 4, 20205 yr Author Thanks for the the input. I wasn’t familiar with fuel surge tanks but after doing some reading I can see that is a definite solution, thanks. I’m really, really wanting to produce a clean build that looks totally factory, aside from the lift and wheels. I’ll put my feelers out for a EA81T tank but in the meantime I think I’m going to open up one of my loyal tanks to have a look, maybe I’ll just fab baffles in my gl tank or even better the tank out of my 2wd gl. Thoughts, has anyone here tried this?
April 4, 20205 yr Not tried this. Be very careful cutting open and working on used fuel tanks. Boom boom if not done correctly! Cheers Bennie
April 4, 20205 yr Meanwhile, think about all those who have converted EA81 to EJ I doubt all have an EA81T tank or a surge tank Keeping the fuel level up might help reduce problems but not practical for all applications

I would just do a surge tank, honestly. They're cheap, simple, and with a lift there is plenty of space to mount one.@rallybru310 There is a guy on one of the FB groups with and EA81T wagon that I've been trying to get the gauge cluster and dash harness from. If you can find him for the fuel tank, perhaps we can both profit off his partout!

Can't help with a fuel tank but are you looking for an analog or digi-dash cluster and harness?
