Hello all,
So I have a leak coming out the top of my top plate on the fuel tank. Tried cleaning it up, looked for cracks or holes and there is nothing I can find. I feel it's coming through the housing for the electrical connection for the in tank pump. I am using an external off the shelf pump and have decided to try and just get a new or reconditioned top plate. I see A2 top plates for sale and my question is are the bolt patterns the same between A1 and A2 top plates?

Re: Fuel tank top plate
The early A2 and the A1 use the same tank and plate. Only difference is the lack of fuel pump in the A2 tank. It has a solid pickup tube down from the top plate.

Rick F,
So would a later top plate from a A2 be different then as I'm assuming those are the ones I'm seeing for sale.

Re: Fuel tank top plate
Later emissions A2's do not have a top plate. They have a bunch of separate fittings for emissions, vents and hookups for the vapor canister. No big round plate.
This is the later tank.

Here is a thread that shows both early and late tanks.
