    Fuel tanks

    Will a VR4 fuel tank fit in place of a V6 tank?

    Lets try and keep this one on topic please.

    Okay, I can see where you're going with the Gulley.....but I wouldn't be worrying about that just yet. Why the smaller tank?

    well im guessign the vr is a smaller tank, it must be if it had to give up room for the gully.

    if i coulf find a V6 that had the same gully as the vr then i would get that, but a vr one has come up.

    well too right, as i said i looked into this and to be fair i think it will flow a lot better than stock, for a start you will lose 2 fairly tight 90° bends straight off, this for example in my line of work equates to the same drag as an extra 2 meters of head (how far a pump has to lift) which is a lot. now before the smart arses start saying its a gas not a liquid there fore it reacts different, i know that, this is just an example of how bends are bad for once

    You need to step back remove the blinkers and look at the bigger picture. Three posts up your already moaning about the expense of re routing an exhaust. To me that will just be chicken feed compared to the rest.

    Anyways. I digress and shall remove myself and my comments back into the real world

    Still here somewhere........

    All 4wd 8G's have the same fuel tank, so just look for any 4wd one. In the Uk though realistically a VR-4 one is the best option.
    If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason
