    Default Long Range Tank Help

    I'd like to fit a long range tank to my VR V6 sedan, and I've found one on eBay from a '94 VR SS (IRS) that I can get for $200. It's in good condition.

    I have a few questions:
    - Can I use my current fuel pump?
    - Will a tank from an IRS fit my live-axle?
    - Will I need a new sender?
    - Will the IRS straps fit?
    - Will I need to make any modifications to get it to fit?
    - Will it be impractical and scrape everywhere?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    In all honesty buddy unless your getting the big tank because you go on long trips then other than that its impractical.
    I fair bit of stuffing around for no real gains at all.
    Each to there own tho i guess!
    Lol just buy a vr ss or a bt1 and in most cases you get the tank standard!

    Good dig, thanks mate. I might give it a miss since it seems there is a bit of custom work involved in getting an IRS tank to suit a live-axle rear end.

    Thanks for your help.
