Will a 03/04 fuel hat work with a 01 tank? Im looking to put a s/c on and was wondering if it would just bolt up and give me the amount of fuel I need? Im just looking to get about 420rwhp out of the kit for now. I tried searching for it but couldn't find it on here. Can someone point me in the right direction?
03/04 fuel hat on 01 tank

yep it will work fine. the thing that 03/04 TANKS have over ours is the baffling. Switching to the 03/04 tank is reccomended but not a "must". I would also delete the PPRV while you have everything apart.
Is that a very hard switch? Also is there any complications with the tank not being baffled?
there is some metal pieces in the bottom of your stock tank that will need to come out in order to fit the twin pumps from the 03/04 set up.
Does a 03/04 tank swap right into an 01 car?
^yes, with the execption of one of the electrical fittings on the top part of the tank, which can just be cut out ans swapped to fit your stock harness.

Negative. It's a plug and play deal with the 01's. I put the tank and pumps in my car and didn't have to cut anything.
oh cool, that was not the case with my 99 though, guess they are different.
I ended up just getting an 03 tank
I remember reading some things had to be changed in the 99's. I first ran the 04 pumps in my stock tank, but never really liked it. So I picked up the 03/04 tank and swapped it in. Everything popped right in.
^ yeah, i have heard that most people cant go under a 1/4 tank with the 03/04 pumps in a 99 or 01 tank
well i guess its just better to get the whole tank then
It really is. You'll see why when you have the two tanks together.
it really is and if you look they have been selling at a very reasonable price, I have seen some in the last few months for 400-500 shipped with upgraded pumps. The swap is very simple. Alot of people have trouble swapping the evap stuff over, but I can explain how to get it out if yours needs to be, it's not hard to do without breaking it.
ok got another question do you think I would be ok with a BAP on the stock fuel pump im looking at around 4-420rwhp with my setup
will all the EVAP stuff from the 01 tank swap over to the 03/04 tank easily?
You should be able to hit that with just an SVT Focus pump swapped in. It is a direct fit for the stock pump. Or you can adapt the connector and do a GT pump.
Yes it will.
Ok well I got a 03/04 hat about the same a focus pump cost so I am going to go that route? Anyone know of a good install thread since this will be my first time doing this?
Anyone got any tips for installing a 03 hat in a 01 tank?
I had to break the plastic part attatched to the tank off. You'll see when you get in there. Other then that, it's just dropping the tank and swapping out the pumps.
You should really look into the matching tank though. You'll be kicking yourself in the butt when you have to drop the tank again. Ask me how I know.
