Van and pickup definitely, possibly also estate?

Just van and pickup. The estate tanks are more like the saloon and coupe.

Is it the filler tube that's different Chris?

Yes the horizontal plate fits into the commercial rear wing and blanks off the wing as there is no petrol filler flap. I think that you could cut the plate off if you need it for your new Coupe.

Or swap it with someone who has a saloon/coupe tank and needs a commercial tank.

The filler tubes on the commercial tanks are a different profile to the saloon/coupe/estate.I don't think they are interchangeable.

Even saloons and coupe's came with different cap fittings. I've had ones where the filler cap locks by tabs sliding under the lip and others where the cap is the same as a radiator expansion bottle cap! Some even came with an adapter to fit after-market locking caps :crazy:
I have all three versions here!
