OH MY GOSH!!! I've been viewing videos of 98 Mustangs, and just dropped my tank. I have a 94 and was like WTF??? Thanks CJ. I will be buying parts from your site very soon
This is exactly how my 97 cobra was for anyone wondering. I think it changed at 98. It was tricky getting the file pump back in, I actually had to look into the fill hole with a flashlight while putting it in
Is this the tank that I want to use to change from an external electric fuel pump to an internal electric fuel pump on a carbureted engine? Was looking into Holley's system with the interchangeable regulator.
Question....why did you install the new tank without the rubberized foam padding that was on top of the old tank. Seems like that padding is some kind of sound dampening to keep the tank from rattling against the chassis.
My stang would not start. Emptied gas tank , installed new spark plugs.replaced fuel pump and spark plugs . Now my 1989 5.0 v8 302 starts up . Problem now is... it will not keep running when i let off gas pedal . Its manual, gear is in neutral. Car shuts off. Any ideas?
Are the fuel tanks, pump assy and sending unit the same for 86-97? I've read the sending unit is different regarding the sweep of the guages in the later models
Question in 3:08 of the video there some hoses he took off I accidentally ruin mine and they are leaking I need new ones but I can’t see to find them anywhere😭🥲HELPPPPPP PLEASE!
Great video very helpful, I just dropped the tank on my 97 cobra I just had one question, where can I find the rubber gasket that goes on the side of the tank where the fill up hose go in if I want to reuse the same tank?
I must have the record for dropping Mustang tanks out there (mind you, i dont work at a dealer or a speed shop) last time i checked i think it was 42,friends, family and my own,something i can tell you if you have a older Mustang, DON'T USE ETHANOL or you will be giving me competition on tanks dropped,lol , also if you drop your tank and it has a good original sending unit ,HANG ON TO IT!! the sending units made right now are worthless!! i changed 3 in my personal Mustangs in one year, (bought all 3 from very reputable Mustangs shops) what happens is the float disintegrates and you will have no gauge whatsoever, gas destroys the plastic float because they are cheaply assembled and they use a tiny retainer to hold the float to the arm (Ford bent the arm around the float making it almost impossible for it to fall off, just figure some guys here might find all this useful!!
Got to drop the tank on my 1990 GT which has been sitting for years, any advice? I never dropped one before and was debating on dropping it to see if I can save it like maybe the tank and pump will still work
A Andrew ! ts pretty simple. The pump its mounted on the driver side on the block. Has two bolts and just disconnects the gas lines. Im usually gonna change out my pump on my 84 fox this weeked.
Doing this currently as we speak, for the life of me i cannot get the new straps even remotely close enough to put the bolts in, tried bending them as close as i could to the originals, still nothing. Ready to call it quits, any advice?
I just watched a video on 1993-2004 in tank fuel pump. Totally different tank and pump. Sending unit and pump are all in one. So do you see the problem? Your video includes 1997 and so does his. I have a 1997 cobra. I'll find out my self when I take the tank down which video has the wrong dates.
Great video! Any thoughts on the fuel tank pads on the original tank? I noticed that you did not put any on the new tank. I'm installing my tank right now and can't seem to find any info as if they are necessary or not. The old ones will not come off without tearing. 1997 mustang GT. Thanks!
If the car has been taken care of and in good shape bolts won't be an issue. Even the exhaust flange bolts to the manifold came loose with out issue on my 1997 stang. Those usually snap off.

Feels like we’re going somewhere with the music 😀great video
Awesome video! Very clear video and explanation! Subscribed, thank you!!
This is exactly how my 97 cobra was for anyone wondering. I think it changed at 98. It was tricky getting the file pump back in, I actually had to look into the fill hole with a flashlight while putting it in
Yes 98 was a new setup and is similar to the 99-04 returnless tank.
Mmm
Is this the tank that I want to use to change from an external electric fuel pump to an internal electric fuel pump on a carbureted engine? Was looking into Holley's system with the interchangeable regulator.
Where can I find the fuel lines that go into the tank? No part store has the metal one..
 Aprenda a pronunciar
Thanks for this video, helped me a lot in maintaining a 1994 Cobra here in Brazil! thanks!
Question....why did you install the new tank without the rubberized foam padding that was on top of the old tank. Seems like that padding is some kind of sound dampening to keep the tank from rattling against the chassis.
Good idea to replace the sending unit and pump while your there?
Depending on the age of those items yes. I replaced my pump a couple months ago when I did the seal so there was no reason to in my case.
What’s the rim size nd tires u have in this mustang please let me know

My Mustang is an 1987 but has a mechanical fuel pump , it's in the engine, does that make it any more difficult to remove?

Why would you not clean off the top of the tank before removing the sender, pump, etc?
Ced sending unit and fuel pump and I'm getting gas coming off the top of tank when i fill the tank up.. what could be the problem?
Sounds like one of the O rings isn't seated properly which is very common.

NO WAY. WOW! Who cares. Can you pull a trans in the same amount of time? Yeah. Besides, did i mention, NO ONE CARES
I just put a new sending unit and fuel pump in mine... And now the gas gauge isn't reading.
So what happens when your fuel lines dump fuel after reinstall
Where can I get the fuel pump hanger for a 97 cobra?
Do you have to use padding on new tanks?
Can you hard wire a fuel pump to a fox body 86
Just out of curiosity, what size fuel pump was that? I'm putting A 340LPH in my 94 and was wondering if I had to upgrade the wiring.
It looks like a Walbro 255 was in that tank. Upgrading the wiring wont hurt but it is not necessary.
do a video on replacing a mechanical fuel pump. My 84 has a Mechanical Fuel pump.
A Andrew ! ts pretty simple. The pump its mounted on the driver side on the block. Has two bolts and just disconnects the gas lines. Im usually gonna change out my pump on my 84 fox this weeked.
I’m surprised you’re not using a new fuel pump and new sending unit in a new tank!?
They were both almost brand new, needed to swap tank so I could run spec fuel for NMRA.
Good video Bill.
What size hose do you recommend when switching to AN- fuel steel braided lines: feed and return
Doing this currently as we speak, for the life of me i cannot get the new straps even remotely close enough to put the bolts in, tried bending them as close as i could to the originals, still nothing. Ready to call it quits, any advice?
It can be tricky to get them in place, make sure the wiring harness/fuel lines are not binding causing that issue.
I just watched a video on 1993-2004 in tank fuel pump. Totally different tank and pump. Sending unit and pump are all in one.
So do you see the problem? Your video includes 1997 and so does his. I have a 1997 cobra. I'll find out my self when I take the tank down which video has the wrong dates.
I noticed the exhaust pipes aren't in place... Are you able to drop the tank with them in place?
yes mine came out just moveing the tank around, im about to put it back on rn
Excaldax R, thanks for the reply! I ended up getting a transmission jack to put mine back in, made it a lot less difficult to put back in. Good luck!
I noticed there are two different strap configurations some use three bolts some use two. It’s kind of annoying
What's the difference from a 98 mustang
What's the difference in the 97 tank and the 98 tank
do we need to disconnect our exhaust?
I guess it helps when your fingers are double jointed lol
Great video! Any thoughts on the fuel tank pads on the original tank? I noticed that you did not put any on the new tank. I'm installing my tank right now and can't seem to find any info as if they are necessary or not. The old ones will not come off without tearing. 1997 mustang GT. Thanks!
If you have a set by all means use them but I have never had issues installing tanks without them.
Bill, will you work on my Stang if I bring it to CJ Pony Parts? :)
The Background music😂😂😂
Is this the same as 96 mustang?
Yes
I don’t recommend drilling a new hole for that filler neck support your fuel tank will leak. Notice he didn’t drill a new one for his.
I hate the way fords are built (Henry's revenge) but they are my bread and butter
What about the 98-04
th-cam.com/video/SOmd3BoE4YU/w-d-xo.html
Yeah like any of those bolts are coming off of my 96....
TheShangralaaaa17 I'm trying to figure out how to get mine off right now. Some just keep spinning and some are completely seized
If the car has been taken care of and in good shape bolts won't be an issue. Even the exhaust flange bolts to the manifold came loose with out issue on my 1997 stang. Those usually snap off.
why use your old pump and sender, on a new tank installation.makes no sense even in your shop video ??????
My fuel pump was a brand new replacement I installed 4 months earlier. The original sender works fine so I did not replace it.
He put a new tank but the same pump? I’d would of done everything if I’d were me
Whoa! That locking ring on the pump is not installed correctly the right side is not under the tab!!!! th-cam.com/video/2C5u_t8u2pU/w-d-xo.html
Come on you could have at least cleaned the parts going to the new unit lazy brother
