I don't remember reading about anybody finding a build date tag where I found them on my 35th and my 1989 XR7, so I'm curious if anybody else has. They are located on the driver's side of the gas tank crossover vent. Has anybody else found one there?Screenshot_20250607_210001_Gallery.jpg
 
That's very cool, I've never seen that before but will take a look on my lower mileage anni to see if its still there or legible.
Do you think its for the fuel tank assy-tank, pump/sender & hoses as it came from a outside vendor?
 
I honestly don't know the origin. I doubt the tag would be for the date of the tank, pump and hose assembly was assembled.

The tag on my XR7 isn't legible on the top portion since it was hit with undercoating spray.
 
Next time I'm under mine I'm gonna look and see if it's there I'll update whenever that is. Although I was just under there a few weeks ago doing some exhaust work and font remember seeing that.

I've been under my car numerous times, but never really looked up near that crossover hose. Unless you have to drop your tank, there isn't much of a reason to look in that spot.

I hope you find the tag
 
I found my build date on my white 1989 SC, a while back. The vin was assigned much earlier, as 100597. The engine build date is 02/06/89.

Interesting Al. Maybe that tag is only the date of the gas tank assembly.

That's a thought, but I believe that date is close to the actual assembly date. I should just break down, and buy a Marti report. I would think the gas tank assembly build, would precede the car assembly, by at least a few weeks, but I don't know.
 
That's what I suspect. They probably purchased from a outside vendor as a assembly & that's the vendors tag.
 
Okay, I couldn't wait. According to my Marti report, my car's scheduled build date was 5/21/1990 and actual build date of 5/25/1990.
