316/323i Fuel Tanks

Post by e21Keith »

Are there any differences between the 316 and 323I fuel tanks?

Re-shelling a 323i and need to know if the donor tanks from the 316 are ok to use with the 323i?

On facelift cars the tanks are the same. Just the pickup/sender units are different.
323i has a larger pickup pipe and has a return line.
