Not saying I know what I'm doing, I actually paid some one to fit my PW tank.However the PW and I assume Rapid's tank and made specifically for our cars, so ease of fitment is there.

Guest Guests Posted 05/02/09 07:29 AM Share Posted 05/02/09 07:29 AM Fuel is something I personally wouldn't play around with on my car. All fuel lines/pumps/tanks etc are best left to those in the know imo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54272-alternative-surge-tank/#findComment-817500 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was about $600 in the end tank/pump/hose and other random bits. Gave me a project to undertake, otherwise I get bored at home if I dont have anything to do...
