Default Petrol tank swapover.

I have an 80 litre tank in my 79 P6, and I was wondering what I need to do, if anything, to replace it with the optional 120 litre tank that I just bought.
Thanks.

You will need a different sender, and a bracket for your spare wheel, that's all.

you might need longer/different mounting straps if it has them.

You might need an overdraft to fill it!

All you have to do is bolt it in and connect all your fuel lines. I've done the same in my XB. Yes, you need a bank loan to fill it. Mines around $180 to fill on 98ron fuel. I've only ever filled it once and I've had it awhile now.
