Fuel pump install. Reply #16 – October 12, 2006, 08:18:54 PM today I noticed that I had something leaking from right under my gas door, so I looked up in there and it was coming from the seal where the fill tube goes into the tank. when I reinstalled the tube I lubed the seal with lubriplate and I thought everything was fine since it went together easy. is there a replacement seal from ford for this? or am I just screwed?

If you haven't found one by the time I swap my tank out you can have that one. Are you sure the tube is positioned back to the way it was? I've never had a problem with seal... then again, I never lubed it either. Quote Selected

I wouldn't think so. Check the seal to make it's seated properly. I've pushed mine in the tank before. =/ Quote Selected

Fuel pump install. Reply #26 – November 10, 2006, 02:34:37 PM Just one quick question. How did the new pump go in? Since I'm doing a HO swap in the spring I guess I need a new pump for the HO since mine apparently won't deliver enough fuel. Did you use a mustang pump, and how did it fit? I thought that the T-bird pump was bigger and the Mustang pump didn't fit quite right in the tank. Quote Selected

Fuel pump install. Reply #28 – November 11, 2006, 08:56:42 AM The pump itself is the same between mustangs and thunderbirds. I have a mustang pump in my car, and all you have to do is go buy the fuel sock/strainer for your car, and its a direct replacement. Like Graham said, you will have to cut and splice the pigtail, since nearly all aftermarket pumps use their own plug, and they come with the pigtail. I do suggest you solder, and use some good heat shrink. Quote Selected
