GQ/GU fuel tanks

[katwoman]

I met a guy this week who specializes in wrecking Q's ( as you would). He told me that long range SUB fuel tanks are interchangeable between the two models. Seeing as I have a Q long range sub tank, I want to fit it to Katrol. But thought I'd double check with those that know, here.
Apparently the chassis are the same. How do I know if my fuel sender will fit new tank as well. What other issues may there be ? Thanks in advance to you all, in the know.

Ok. As far as GQ stuff goes, it all sux !!! HAHA, no not really.
Putting Q tank in GU is do-able but not advisable.
Because GU's have more gear underneath, ( the extra fuel filter pump thingy) it is difficult to make Q fit. Hoses are on the wrong sides, and different sizes.
So the moral of the story IS
do not fit GQ sub tank into a GU, unless you want a excessively huge headache.
In the end, I did not do it, and am now hunting for a GU LR sub tank. Soooooo, if anyone knows of a 2nd hand subby for a GU, I want it.
