How To Replace Fuel Filler Tube Gasket*pic's* - Mustang Forums at StangNet
for the past few weeks,i've noticed a strong fuel odor while driving.i checked all lines and injectors,which were fine.the problem was that the fuel filler tube gasket failed.this allowed fuel to leak past it and on to the outside of the tank,very close to the tailpipes ,not good.
i heard that i would have to drop the tank too replace the gasket,which is a pain in the a$$.
i found i did not have to :banana: here are the steps to replace it.
-------------------------tool's needed----------------------
1-fuel filler neck gasket from Ford dealer $39.part #F4ZZ-9072-DA(much cheaper online,but i didnt want to pay shipping or wait for it to be delivered)
1- 3/8 ratchet.
1-8 mm,3/8 drive socket.
1-long 3/8 drive extension.
1-T15 Torx bit.
1-motor oil(just a little)
2-clean rags

2-jack stands
#1.disconnect battery(just to be safe).
#2.raise car,set on jack stands.
#3.clean filler tube and area around filler tube gasket.
