Gas Tank Interchange?
Do the fuel injected FB gas tanks interchange with the carbed tanks? I'm guessing the FI cars have in tank electric pumps so an FI one probably won't help me. The reason I'm asking is my tank is leaking and I need a new one. It doesn't seem like anyone repops them. There's an 85 FI car at our local yard and it looks solid. Can I use it?

Yes, you can use it, the FI tanks had an external fuel pump. The difference however is that there is a cup around the pickup and return lines to prevent air from getting into the lines when driving with less than half a tank and on a turn.
As long as you don't have an SA, it will fit in easily.
Also, another point to mention is that the fuel lines were slightly larger on the FI tanks, so you may want to use your old pickup, or figure something else out accordingly.

Pickups are interchangeable between tanks, S3's. If you are running fuel injection, you really need the cup. If the one at the wreckers is good, have it cleaned and refurbished before you install, then you'll never have worry about it again.
