yes. But the sender might not be. Change that over, because it works differently.

Otherwise, no problem!

Fuel Tanks

Post by mike.perry »

Depends how late a tank you are fitting. 1098 tanks are of course 6 1/2 gall which saves filling up every few miles and the pipe thread into the tank is different. No problem just cut the pipe and join the two ends with a length of modern flexible fuel hose, oh and you will need a 1098 spare wheel clamp. Works on mine, no problems for the past 25 years.
