Ken made a comment somewhere about fuel pump whine with an aftermarket tank.
I needed one, and rock auto listed 3.
Liland Global $132, listed wrong height (all 3 used differing nomenclature)
Spectra $172, aplication for a 1992 “carburetor”. Listed on autozone as 25lbs (with box?)
Dorman VL1B, out of stock, $? Listed on autozone as 18.25lb.
That left me with one “real” option:
Use a volvo tank. Save your old one if it can be cleaned. I am about to return this Liland Global.
16.5lbs .035” steel with a 60mm deep sump vs 22lb .052” steel with a 115mm deep sump for the volvo.
Guaranteed to be noisy, lose pressure in hard turns under 3/4 tank, and leak in a wreck.
Maybe i’ll try a different one. I doubt they’ll go look at the sump or weigh it for me.
