R883 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Just filled my car up with a full tank of diesel this morning and it has decided to empty it self all over the car park With it being the diesel i think im going to struggle to find a civic one since they are so rare So the question is can i use one from a rover 400/45 ? Im hoping so !!!!Need to try and sort out some way to travel the 70 miles home from work now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 i had a nightmare trying to find a tank.....http://www.civic5.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=9don't know if the diesels are any different, but the rover one was the right shape, but the hole for the fuel gauge sender was blanked off.

R883 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 does it need to be a 400 ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'd just be careful to make sure that the Rover one isn't different for yours like it was for mine - I ended up getting a second hand honda one from the breakers.the pic below was from a Rover:the hole on the top right is where the fuel pump & sender went, but on mine the sender goes in the hole to the top left that's blanked off on that picture. If you can get it to fit, then it probably would have to be a 400, or a MG ZS.Hope that you made it home okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
