Default Gas Tanks!

Anyone know if the 2dr and 4dr gas tanks are the same size for the neon? I have a rusty steel tank in my '96 coupe and there's a 97 4 dr at the JY with a plastic tank.

There the same for sure. I switched from the 4door fuel tank to a 2 door in my race car and it seemed to work fine.
