The mounting pattern for the "cover" piece is the same, the main difference is the length of the assembly. But bolt pattern wise they're the same where they attach to the tank.

Yeah like I said on the straps I'm not 100% sure....the last time I did that swap was a few years back on a resto for a customer and I don't recall which series straps I used. I bet though, that even if the S4 ones are shorter, you can probably tighten them down anyways given the length of the bolts.......but either way its nothing outside of your capability :icon_tup:

Just becuase I had to check

S4 Tank - FB01-42-110D List - $645.92
S5 Tank - FC02-42-110A List - $622.85

S4 Sender FB01-60-690B - List - $not giving a price, but I JUST bought a new one 3 weeks ago :banghead:
S5 Sender FC02-60-960 - List - $116.24

S4 straps - FB01-42-720 - list - $23.xx
S5 straps
Right side - FB71-42-710 - List - $33.38
Left side - FC01-42-720 - List - $30.82

Again, your logic is undeniable (I need some flippin sleep). I guess I'll be trading mine for his when the time comes. It might even save me from buying another sender if his is in good working order. Cool, thanks Joe.

Now lets see how long I can put off buying a tank. I've been using his diff since DGRR :rofl: He's going to need it back at some point.

Excellent, if he shows up this Saturday for the meet I'll be sure to mention this :rofl:

:lol:
There was a caravan of four of us, Neeto in her honduh accord, Shar in his FD, me in the FC, and AJ in his FB. Neeto made some comment about old people driving slow FC's so I dumped 3 gears on the off ramp and roared around everyone.... AJ get's on the walkie and makes a comment, something along the lines of, "look @ that old dude in his mid-life crisis mobile." :lol2:

Not 5 minutes later at the gas stop someone was galking over all the cars so we decide to give him a show........... funny, the mid-life crisis mobile was the only one that could smoke 'em at all let alone through 2 gears. FWD hondah, automatic FD, and lack of hp FB :rofl:

I've got something for ya for a good chuckle... He doesn't remember this...

That picture disturbs my calm... on so many levels.

Now Brian, you know as well as I do that my car will be a contender as soon as I get it all dialed in. Don't deny it.






LOL.

God damn you're still having fuel problems with this? I thought you would have been alright after we replaced the pump and filters.

:rofl:

I want to see your car man. Bill is going to try to make it to KDR next time I'm on the dyno, you should join.

Scott! My other DGRR savior. Dude, I've been through 4 socks total, 3 main filters. Sadly all we did @ DGRR was fix the symptom. I think, I hope, I PRAY that the main cause was the epoxy coated tank, which has finally been changed out. Hopefully that is the end of this crap.

Hate to say it, but I doubt I'll be able to make it out there. I have too much to do and not enough time or money to do it in. This should prove to be mighty interesting.

Story of my life is too much to do and not nearly enough time. You should still try to make it up there for the third or forth dyno. I'm going to make that for a saturday and that's when we're going for 400. Last time I was there he was tuning a 500R for 475RWHP. The thing hit so hard we needed three people in the trunk to keep the tires contacted to the dyno. It was quite awesome

Make sure you hit me up before you go for your 400whp run, I def want to be there... the mrs and I will book a room and attend the grand event :)

Probably throw my 8 up there for some baseline pulls too... ya know, to give you perspective, lol...

400 woot woot..............vodka again

What product was the tank coated with? Do you think the ethanol in the gas dissolved it? I'm picking up my tank Friday from getting boiled and coated, now you got me worried.

The last auto-x I was at there was an 8 that said he did like 130 or 150 on the dyno and thought that to be low........ I thought so too. I'll def be updating this thread when the time comes. It'll be a saturday too, that much I do know. Maybe mid-late August at this point.... dunno. We'll see what happens.

:rofl: You and your flipp'in vodka. What's your brand? I'm quite the vodka drinker myself

I have no idea what the product was. I took it to a local radiator/machine shop and they took care of the whole thing. I'm positive it's the ethanol that's breaking it down. Most everyone that I know with a fiberglass tank is replacing it with plastic or Aluminum. I've even heard from Tim Marren that the ethanol is breaking down the plastic fuel cells and releasing the "sand" they use to help mold the things. Metal seems to be the only safe bet now.

I know it's the ethanol because at one point I dropped the tank. Cleaned all the fuel out. Whiped the tank down with a paper towel and it came back clean. I poured some gas in, sloshed it around and whiped again, still NOTHING. A few weeks later I have filters clogged with sludge after I found NOTHING in the tank. Fucking ethanol. I would talk to the guy that coated the thing and see if he's had ANY complaints about it, and I'd also be curious how long he's been using it. Seems to take a few years for the shit to start breaking down the epoxy. Unless some other rank chemical was added recently that I'm unaware of. I'm no chemist, but from my experience, the ethanol seems to be the beast.
