Hey guys. I have a question about a gas tank... My 91 wagon is rusty. I pulled the 89 Crown vic tank out and in the process of putting it back in the wagon... However I already junked the old tank out of the wagon and I cant seem to get the 89 tank in. I dont know what I'm doing wrong or whats the difefrence here? The 89 is just a four door box car by the way.
I cant even get the bands on and it seem like the gas tank is already hitting the body. even if I bend the bands it wouldnt help. They're just simply to short. It wont reach. Can somebody give me some info on this?? Thanks

i thought the wagons received a different gas tank...bigger to be exact...could be wrong though. maybe the design is just different, do they look the same?

damn... I just orderded it man. $200 fucking dolars. I figured no one wouldnt want to ship out a gas tank but I guess i'm wrong.... you wouldnt have the fuel pump now would you? Cause I figured out it was different. It's another 89 dollars.

I just mentioned it, no idea whether it'd be troublesome, especially for a used tank (NAPA told me that even brand-new exhaust pipes had to ship as hazardous materials for some reason).

I do have a '79 wagon filler neck if you find you need it. Might even know where it is, too!Last edited by 1987cp; 10-22-2010 at 02:11 PM.

It's all wagon specific....
If you get a generic fuel pump- just the phyiscal pump, it will work. The pickup/mount is quite different though.
