No is correct, the SA tank is much smaller so the 85 tank will not fit.

the shape is different due to the shape of the floor pan and spare tire well. 79-80 RX-7's used a full size spare while the 81-85 used a compact spare. the pickup and return lines are integrated into the earlier tanks and seperate on the S3..just too many difference.
