can someone please tell me if there is a difference in fuel tanks between all 1st gens or if they are the same and which models and years comply with an 84 gsl-se? Thanks

 

You cannot put an '81-up gas tank in a '78-80 model because the early models had deeper spare tire wells for the full-size spare. I'm assuming you can put an early tank in a later car, but the early tanks are out of production and kinda hard to find.

 

thanks - so to clarify - any tank will fit in a gsl-se.. How big are the early tanks - capacity .
-se is supposedly 63L...

 

are you really a hottie?

oh yeah, gas tanks. 81 and up should fit. if you find a cheap 79-80 tank, please point it to me.

 

I do know that '84 - '85 had larger tanks then previous years, and I think that all the tanks for '84 - '85 were the same, meaning they would be interchangeable. Can anyone else verify this?

 

jeremy - my g/f made the name on here, i know its a gay name for a car site but she's happy and so am I - right ... I need a 84-85 tank then ??? f*ck. goddamn rust...

 

yup, you need an 84/85 one
here is a snippit from Mazdatrix
-Tank- -Part Number-
79-80 No Longer Available
81-83 42-110B-FA01
84-85 12A & 13B 42-110A-FA66

 

that sounds like something that would happen to me man.
