S15 fuel tanks?

[minty]

Ive got a small hole in mine after my driveshaft went nuts and ripped into it. Are s14 fuel tanks the same as the 15s as i cant find a replacement anywhere

there was a post i think on here or sxoc where someone had a similar issue with needing a new fuel tank and from what i remember reading, they are both the same, i will try and find the link

did you end up putting an s14/a tank in then?

No, I might not need one but they are definitely the same.
The only difference is the pump bracket inside the tank, the s15's bracket is inline with the fuel pump the s14 is opposite. Not a major problem, you can just use your s15 pump and bracket, but thought I'd mention if this comes up on a search.

the screw on tank top is different aswell.the actual tank is the same.
you can use the s14 pump hanger in the s15 tank but you will run out of petrol when the gauge gets to a 1/4 full

Can't see why you would?

The hanger physically sits in the same place in the tank, and the hanger length is the same, just the position of the outlet pipe thats on the opposite site.
