I'm looking at (still in 2005 donor vehicle) replacement tanks to replace the expired tanks in my 1996 P71 Crown Vic. My factory car uses the 10 GGE, four-tank, 3000 PSI configuration which are nearing their expiration date, according to fuel-filler door plate (Dec 2011).
Does anyone know (from checking factory parts manuals or from observational experience) if the later model (3600 psi) Crown Vic tanks use compatible brackets from the earlier 1996-2001-ish Crown Vics?
And are the mounting brackets interchangeable between the interior (package shelf) and exterior tank pairs? And if the brackets/tanks are different dimensional diameters, are the mounting points compatible?
Basically what I'm asking is: Can one exchange or interchange late model Crown Vic (2003-2005) factory (Not BAF converted) tanks and use the original 1996 brackets?
Have any other 1996 CV owners changed out their soon to expire tanks? Any insights would be helpful.
