Default 1996 Blazer Fuel tank

Hi. I have a 95/96 blazer 4.3, and i have fuel leakage from the pump module.
I have a 97/98 s10 car, that i take parts from, and want to take the complete fuel tank from this car, but it seems tha the pump module is slightly different here. It's hard for me to explain, since i'm norwegian. So i'll upload images from the two pump modules.

The one that says Spectra Premium is the one in the part-car.
The other one i have in my own.

Is there any way to interchange these, so that i can take the complete fuel tank?

Appreciate any answer

You cannot swap an old sending unit into a new tank, at least not without a lot of work. I would suggest that you find the proper tank for your application.

Ok. I was thinking of taking the complete tank, and sending unit. But i was unsure of the wiring to the pump, i see on my car i have only one connector, and on the other car it has 2 connectors.

I also have severe leakage when filling full-tank, as if there is too much pressure in the tank when filling her up.

But i'll probably just buy the right sending module for my car instead, saves me for much time/work

Thanks for the answer!

Have you determined where it is leaking from? It could be a simple filler hose issue and not a problem with the tank itself.

I'm not sure where it's coming from, looks like on top of the tank. I will check it when i take down the tank to put in the new sending module
