Filled up with fuel yesterday & came back to a puddle under my golf so I need to buy a replacement tank. The question is as my golf has a mk3 polo 1.3 injection engine do I need to get the gti tank with the swirl pod in ?
I was looking at the one from vw heritage.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

alternatively normal mk1 carby tank and fit post-84 cabrio/scirocco injection or any g40 shape polo lifter pump and swirl pot. you may already have this stuff if a complete polo donor was sourced for your swap

Is it just the swirl pod thats the problem could you in theory replace the swirl pod with a better one if you wanted new metal or are they just generally bad quality?
I realise it may be way more expensive but I was just wondering.

on the genuine gti tank its a plastic pot with a filter inside and rubber flaps to stop the fuel escaping. on the diesel tank its just a crude metal cup. fine with thicker diesel oil and lower demand from the fuel pump but for a petrol one it will lead to fuel starvation when cornering and eventually it'll start to damage the fuel pump as they need a constant supply of fuel to lubricate the internals
