Fuel tank for 81 malibu

[magoo_oner]

im looking for a fuel tank for a 2 door Malibu 1981 anybody know if a tank from a caprice will work around the same year like a 84

the caprice tank won't work, the filler spout on the caprice tank is in the center while due to the spare tire well in the G body the filler spout is offset to the right.

You're right I can see that that now I'm having a hard time finding a used one around me I might just have to buy new

Do you have a tank at all? I've read the Spectra new tanks have issues when filling them up (fuel backing up and sloshing out the filler neck) so if you buy a Spectra tank you want to buy it without the filler neck and reuse the original filler neck.

I just picked up a fuel tank out of a 86 cutlass for my Malibu it fits everything looks like it will bolt right in only difference I see is the sending unit on the tank from the cutlass has 3 lines looks like a feed return and vent and I only see 2 hoses under the Malibu looks like I might have to switch out the sending unit anyone know if a sending unit from a el camino will fit and work properly on the Malibu tank because I have a spare elcoe tank with sender I can use on the Malibu if it will work
