Anyone know if this would work...just bought a tank on ebay that was advertised as a '95 F3 tank then I found out that its actually an F2 tank..so incase the guy decides to be a jerk and sends it to me anyway, what do I have to do to make it work?

Pretty sure the tanks themselves are identical. The fuel valve is the only different bit I believe. F2's have a vacuum operated petcock and F3's have an electric fuel pump. At least I'm pretty sure that is the case. If you've got the fuel pump, I'm about 80% sure it will work. I don't know anything about getting the vacuum operated pump thing to work on an F3 but if you've got the petcock from the old tank then you're golden, because they are completely identical in that regard.

So if I put the F3 valve on it it would work? Because the F3 tank has the vacuum and drain lines on the bottom of the tank itself, but on the F2 those are actually right on the valve. So if I put the F3 valve on the F2 tank I'll have no vacuum or drain lines
