Two reasons:

The injection tank is fitted with an internal swirl pot so the feed always has a fuel supply. This is important because there is no float chamber like on a carb to store fuel.

There is a connector for a return line from the fuel rail.

Is there any difference between a Manta hatch and coupe fuel tank? Also is the same tank used on anything else - Mk1 Cav or Ascona perhaps?

The coupe tank sits upright ( as garymanc said ) inside the boot

the hatch tank is strapped underneath the boot and lays flat .

the cav's sportshatch tank would fit , but is a non injection tank ( no return fuel-line ) so could be used in the 1.8 carbbed Manta . but not practicle for the injection model . tho' saying that , some members have installed a return pipe to the Non Injection tanks :

Dunno if this is any help , or not ...

IF you can find a good used one you can expect to pay anything upto £100 for one.

New i'm not sure as i haven't seen any new injection hatch tanks for a while now.

swirl pots are to stop petrol surges, and starvation, a seperate swirl pot can be bought and a return fitted to the standard 1.8 tank.

could we fit a swirl pot to the government to stop prices surging! before starvation sets in.
