No, other way around.
The tank is more wide than deep. The measurements are from the rim edges, so the hole is probably about half an inch smaller.
Very, very nice tank, but I can almost certainly tell you from here that I think it will not fit a otherwise standard 03 bug tank space.
The original tank has alot of its volume down low, not on top of the edge, the tank rests on. This is because the fresh air box under the windscreen is already there...
I guess you do not have the car at your disposal yet to see for yourself. Is the tank already yours or is it an offer your considering?
I hope I haven't alarmed you too much, but its difficult to tell sizes from your picture. You should really try it on 'a' 1303 (years don't matter for tanks, I believe)
