yes, but what about 2WD fuel tanks ?

I sorta assumed they were all the same ( not counting the two filler pipe
sizes ) ...
and I've never messed with an air-cooled tank ...
just occurred to me that could be the issue with Neil's problem.

as far as the tank goes, only coolant pipes or no coolant pipes,
or large or small ones,     would matter. Not length of course.

so does an air cooled fuel tank differ in any way from say ...an 84
waterboxr fuel tank ?
( not counting filler neck differences )
