Our MTS Company #4253 19-gal. fuel tank replaces the following: 1985-1996 Ford F-150, 1985-1997 Ford F-250, F-350 and 1990-1997 Ford F-Super Duty Pickup 19-gal. rear/aft axle fuel tank. This tank does not have a separate vent pipe. Venting the tank is through the filler neck like the original tank but without the secondary internal pipe. This tank only replaces the OEM style metal rear/aft axle fuel tank and is approx. 25 1/2″ x 33 1/2″ x 8″. *This tank does NOT replace the Ford OEM Plastic tank with the platic nut securing the sending unit to the tank. Includes new lock ring and O-ring. Replaces # E5TZ9002E, E7TZ9002A, F3TZ9002A, F6TZ9002A. **We have added some additional plastic around the interior of the tank at the sending unit hole. This additional plastic will not interfere with the diesel units from 1985-1997, nor the gas units with an in-tank fuel pump from 1985-1989 however the fuel modules that Ford started using in 1990 may hit this additional plastic when being installed. If this happens, the plastic will need to be trimmed to allow installation. The top half of the extra plastic can be trimmed in a crescent shape (similar to the fuel module shape) which will allow the unit to be installed. When trimming the plastic, use a shop vac to collect the plastic shavings and then rinse out the tank with water. Only trim enough plastic so the module will install properly.**
