petrol tank retaining ring how to remove
« on: 12 May 2011, 23:37 »
Doin a tdi into gti conversion was hopin to just swap over tank units rather than tank but when i tried to put the tdi unit into the gti tank it wont sit properly because the black retainer ring that held the fuel pump in isnt letting it sit down. Can this be removed or do i have to swap tanks

At a guess i'd say your probably better swapping the tanks over :undecided:

Should be easy to swap over, straps should be the same unless the tank is larger.
