They are identical except the 4AGE tank has baffles installed around the fuel pump pickup.

Not perfect, just better.

Holes need to be welded (get a professional to do it).

Although your leak may well be one of the tank seals.

JDM tanks also has in-tank surge pot enclosed.

I wouldn't call it a surge pot. It's really just some better baffling around it

Just a note:

Don't try to weld a fuel tank yourself if you don't know what your doing. Just emptying a fuel tank is NOT sufficent.
Fuel VAPOURS are more explosive than the fuel itself...........

Fuck trying that, call in the qualified people's :P

thanks for the adivces.
if i just replace it by another ADM tank, is there any welding job required?

You do know that JDM has an EFI fuel pump instead of the carby lift pump yeah? Just thought id throw it out there incase, the tanks are identical on the exterior, they bolt up identical to each other, the pump and baffles are the only difference. It's alot easier using a JDM tank for a 4age conversion than modifying a ADM tank.

If you have an ADM tank and the JDM fuel pump and housing. the housing bolts straight in to the same location as the ADM fuel pickup. JDM housings can be a bit hard to come by though hence people setting up external pump systems.

If your replacement tank is sound, then no welding is involved in replacing them.

No you do not have to do any welding to just swap a jdm tank into your 86, unless it leaks.
