[@benjaminwhitfield4890]

Thank you very much for the calm cool and collected video! Provided all required information in a manner that is not known to many mechanics! Your voice says you have all the patience in the world. Thank You Sir!

[@SteveAZ711]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MikeBaca-rs8ij]

It would be helpful to know what the circut for the pin connectors are

Thanks for the video! Just pulled out a tank in my 1986 f150 that’s been sitting 10+ years. I found about a pound of rust sitting in the bottom. Just ordered a new pump for my new tank!

[@SteveAZ711]

Pretend I just got your nice comment. Thankyou and I hope things are going well with your truck.

[@joeybradley6537]

Thanks for the great video, I just purchased a non running 88 f150. Needed inline fuel pump and in tank pump ( haven’t done the other tank yet) and a computer. Got it running. Major accomplishment for me to figure out what was going on. Never took on a project like this before. Your video helped a lot! Just did the transmission fluids and filter today.Next up on it oil pan gasket,ball joints,shocks,fresh stereo and speakers,replace seat cover and cushion,spark plugs as well. Will be used to pull my 20 foot enclosed trailer for my snack business.

I am happy to have given you a road map so to speak. We all know there is a lot of work involved. I think patience and a little time will see you through your project with positive results. Thanks for the nice comment!

[@SteveAZ711]

Congrats! Sounds like you are going to have a good project that will give back many hours of enjoyment.

@@SteveAZ711 thank you so much, I’ll continue watching your videos to help me out

[@wutntarnation]

That's some good engineering! I'm suprised they didnt weld it shut.

[@SteveAZ711]

Ford has always had a better idea. Many tanks are done this way and not just FOMOCO.

[@bgoneification]

Awesome video. I need to perform the same task, so you've provided valuable information. Thank you very much!!!

[@SteveAZ711]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ryanscott1989]

Thanks for the video! My 1987 F150 Front tank is leaking and the rear doesn't work. I hope to get both working again. My poor cab is rusting out. My great uncle purchased it new to build a house and then parked it about 1994ish I think. My dad got it from him in 2005ish. It had 37k original miles. Now it has 104k but still runs great! Straight 6 with the 4 speed manual.

[@SteveAZ711]

Great low mileage truck! Thanks Ryan!

@@SteveAZ711 Did you make a video on the connector repair?

[@corbana4743]

[@SteveAZ711]

It is a lot of work, but well worth the effort!

[@sethlivingston6427]

[@SteveAZ711]

Ya gotta love the ole truck. Thanks!

[@ShawbazSoaia]

Just dropped my rear tank, and recommendations for a fuel pump that'll work if I can't find the original one? F250 460 v8 1985 Bullnose. Thank you

[@SteveAZ711]

I buy a lot from Rock Auto.

[@marshalllindsay8695]

Any suggestions for getting the fuel filler neck back into position? mine is a beast and is not wanting to budge...

[@SteveAZ711]

Use some light oil on the inside of the hose for lubrication.

[@marshalllindsay8695]

@@SteveAZ711 Thank you, tried it and it worked...I appreciate the help!

[@blakechambers56]

I had to take a flat head to help unplug the plug. lol. Lot of dirt and grime

[@SteveAZ711]

Yep, I have been there on occasions as well. Thanks for the comment!

[@johnwalters7415]

Did you have truck setting on the ground?

[@SteveAZ711]

I did. It sits high 4x4.

[@kenbreland]

[@VareaIII]

Was your fuel gauge stuck on full? That's the problem I'm having

[@SteveAZ711]

No it was reading empty as I recall.

[@Hobosdkcheese]

hey varealll did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue.

[@jamesmontgomery9464]

i took the bed off... if you're going to do both tanks. granted i had to get a few friends.

[@SteveAZ711]

They are very easy to work on that way...especially if they are half full of fuel. Something to consider. Thanks!
