will a GTX fuel tank fit in a XP???

:hurray:

I would like to know if I order a fuel tank for a (1996) GTX or GTI can it fit into my (1996) XP. I only have a total of 9 gallons and I am running out of fuel way to soon. So I am thinking about chaning out the fuel tank for a larger unit. Any ideas????

Yes! The tank from a 96 GTi or GTS will fit right in and give you 12 gallons instead of 9. You need to pull the engine out to get it in. You must relocate the electrical box closer to the side of the hull, eliminate the front storage, and use the GTS/GTi fuel sender & tank straps. You will also have to get some flexible marine fuel filler hose and loop it around to the front of the tank where the inlet is. You will have to route & tie up the filler hose so as not to put any stress on the filler neck of the tank. Also, it's best to use T-bolt clamps on the filler hose. It's a good idea to check it frequently.

Well that would be a lot more work than I thought. Is there an alternative. That is has someone else done something similiar. That is increased the fuel tank capacity in some way.

Oh, BTW. Could I not just remove some of the styrofaom beneath and around the current fuel tank to make room for the replacment???
