i dident know they had to differnt size tanks, unless u got a waggin tank in whitch case it wont fit, when i orderd a new tank for my old 84 2 dr they gave me a waggin tank, so i tryed it anyways and wouldent fit right at all, had to take it back and got the propper tank, -
Yeah, the wagon and sedan tanks are quite different. I'd not heard of a 16 gallon tank .... just in my experience, I replaced a 18 gallon SEFI tank with a 20 gallon carb'd tank in the '87 wagon and reused the straps, the only problem being getting the dang bolts back in (which was also a problem when doing a direct replacement on my old '79).2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

tanks are always a bastard to get back in. I had to loosen the studs on the frame to get enough for the nut to grab onto.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

There's a useful thought. I actually still have one stud that isn't quite in right, so maybe one of these days I can give that a try.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!
