Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get a new fuel tank from, for my rover coupe turbo at an resenable price?
Any links would be greatfull.

Google the part number and you will come up with aftermarket suppliers. OE stock is as rare as hens teeth and I wouldn't bother with second hand unless you know for certain it's a recient replacement.

Hi,

I have been looking in to these tanks, does anyone know if the diesel tanks are the same as they look identical???

Cheers

No. Diesel and VVC are different to Turbo. and 2l NASP

If you are on Rover-coupe.com read this thread I posted on the same subject.

Is it not the pumps are different not the tank mate.

[rover__dan]

vital you get swirl pot version imo

My pattern part one i got last year was identical to many tanks i have seen, ie writing on tank, swirl pot for turbo version cars

and was at least £140

you can get cheaper versions but expect issues when running low on fuel.......

just based on my issues with tanks in the past

Cheers, out of the two top Rimmer bros links, does this mean part numbers WFE10129P and WFE10179P are the same tank or not?
Can someone clarify this for me.

Cheers

This will give you the part no which will help and i found on all docs relating to any tanks i have purchased

71-22-381

although the actual swirl pot look more like the 382

The tanks in the first 2 links are diesel (first), and petrol (second), they probably have different fittings for diesel and petrol.

WFE10129P is the correct part number for the Turbo. I think the P on the end simply shows that it a pattern part not OE.

Cheers guys

As said above the P is for a pattern part, L on the end is for Land Rover, and SLP is Service Line Part, generally if the numbers are the same it relates to the same part, but some people have found discrepancies when using Land Rover parts.
