Can you replace the fuel tank on a daewoo matiz with a plastic one from an earlier model?

Answer 1

I have just done that, you need the complete filler neck off the donor car with the plastic tank as the pipe is shorter that feeds the plastic tank... swap your sender unit over as the plug for the wiring is a different connection , the metal tank has a bolt in sender unit and the plastic one is held in with a screw on collar but they fit no problem...then you need to plug the breather hole in the plastic tank with a 5mm bolt as you will now use the breather pipe on your original sender unit which goes to the filter box at the very back of the car... you will need to make 2 new straps to hold the tank up as the original plastic tank straps arent long enough..lastly make sure you take the heat shields off the plastic tank donor car and put these on your car.
