Spectra Premium RO9F fuel tank for the 1972-1974 MG Midget 4-cylinder 1.3L and the 1975-1979 Midget 4-cylinder 1.5L holds the fuel for a carbureted fuel system. Its engineering, manufacturing technology and quality control are intended to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment tank it replaces.
A fuel smell, fuel seepage, or rust and pinholes on the tank can mean it is failing, and a leak deserves a shop's attention promptly. Before you replace the tank, rule out a loose fuel line or filler hose connection and the fuel pump, since fuel odor and a weak fuel supply can start in those parts too.
The 1972-1974 MG Midget 4-cylinder 1.3L and the 1975-1979 Midget 4-cylinder 1.5L each take one tank, and this listing is that single tank. It is a direct-fit replacement for both.
