Hi. Does anyone know if Hq-Hz sedan fuel tanks are interchangable. I need to replace the one in my Hq, strange rattle when doing between 100-110kmh. Heard fuel senders may be different in later tanks (cause of the different gauges) if this is true can i take my original and swap into new tank? or do they have differnt mountings? Cheers

HJ onward has a bigger 16 gallon fuel tank , but should still fit using the straps that come off the later tank.
I think the senders should work , the GTS had a different sender in the tank I believe.

Maybe something has been dropped into the tank at some stage? Sometimes, the locking mechanism in locking petrol caps used to seize and they would be levered off with the centre of the cap usually ending up inside the tank.
I'd pull the sender, grab a
