Yes I did a search & kept getting an error.
What are the problems you run into when upgrading to a newer style tank in the early foxes ? I really want to put a newer style tank in my 80 when I upgrade to EFI
Thanks

The newer tanks fit... mostly. You will have to move the pass side strap over about the width of the strap. You will need new lines because now they will come off the top instead of the lower front.save your old straps and save your old fuel sender you may need it based on what year tank you get, and last, do yourself a favor and get the filler neck too as there are no new donuts for the early tank filler neck. For the record I have a 94 tank in my 79. They say it's necessary to massage the floor a bit for the newer tank to fit. I get that, but I have not done it, and mine is in. If you use factory type wiring it will go through the grommet hole you currently have, you will just have to rearrange your wiring a bit. Still easy enough

Both posts outline the bigger 79-80 spare wheel well and the strap location of the early pre 1981-1/2 12 gal tanks. Some 81's have the earlier tank.

Quick parts check results:
All parts sites state 4/81 as the changeover month from early to later style tank.
Exact April 1981 date??
Prob means the sheet metal for the spare tire well changed too?
New filler neck grommets for all years are available.
New early filler necks no-
later style- yes.
