The reason they made the flapper was because in the 60s there was no unleaded gas , all gas contained lead, when unleaded came out , they did not want you to run regular fuel in unleaded cars, hence the flapper. The nozzle was larger for leaded fuels and would not fit cars that ran unleaded, they used the smaller nozzle.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

You're probably correct,. :)

Thank you for the video this is my next upgrade to my 65 Great Job Andy :)

[@GolfGuy54601]

Great product! I think I’ve overfilled practically everytime I’ve filled up! 😂 Thanks for sharing Andy. I’m in the process of adding a EFI system right now w/ a new tank so this is a perfect time to upgrade!

[@Glens1965]

Converted a few of these by making the cut and installing the flapper and welding it up. Good to see someone found a way to swage them in for the guy with no welder.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Yeah, it's a pretty decent product. :)

[@Tapster1924]

Definitely need one. Will order.

[@ThomasWRhoades]

Fantastic, never knew there was a product like that. Spilt lots of gas in my time witj the old filler.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Yes, it's very nice to have. :)

[@davekurschenska8118]

Used the same guy last year, works great on my 68 coupe

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Nice! 🙂

[@BrianJessome]

It's also good insurance to add an extra gasket. It keeps the cap out a bit further to ensure it doesn't come in contact with your paint.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Good to know. 🙂

[@ML-dl1cp]

nice upgrade. Just last week I over-filled my '65 early in the day and by noon the heat had expanded the fuel to the point it was leaking out of the filler neck. That backflow gate will ensure the pump shuts off before things get that full.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Yeah, it sounds like this device could help a lot of people. :)

[@Mustangshow67]

Another simple mod I did was get rid of the flat shifter bezel look and make a nice looking one, I used a 1969 automatic shifter bezel and you cut the dome off of it by machining it down and leave about 3/8", (Wish I could post a picture of what it looks like). So you still have the 5/8" base PLUS and extra 1/4-3/8" of the dome remaining. Then you just get longer screws and you still use the rubber accordion boot for the shifter itself and install the newly cut 69 bezel over it, I still use the flat bezel to help hold down the boot but then its done and looks custom too.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Yeah, it's pretty cool all the custom designs we can come up with to make these cars just a pinch nicer. :)

[@malimag99]

Thanks to this video and the comments I think I figure out why my 65 Falcon was poring gas out of the rear shortly after filling the tank. When I look while the car was park I couldn't find any leaks. My son was driving behind me and say that he saw gasoline poring out the rear.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Glad it helped. :)

[@mirandadeel2702]

❤Thank you for sharing this God bless you

[@AndyKruseChannel]

You are so welcome. :)

[@BPattB]

I'm not trying to steal your thunder but I hacked a pvc check valve into my fill neck hose when I was 18 on my first 65. I miss the 90's. My reason was a little different. When I would do donuts with 1/2 tank or more a bit of gas would come out of my cap. Not the same reason but the result is the same. Great product Andy! Edit: last 2 videos you sounded a bit congested, hope you're feeling all right man.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Thunder not stolen, there's all kinds of good ideas out there, and people need to do what they feel is best for their car. :) Battled a cold for a while, but we're back in business. Thanks!

[@bucky0868]

[@SlowInFastOut1776]

That nut's a pain to get to isn't it!? Awesome upgrade that'll save your back from having to lean over & see if the tank is full. If it still rubs you can also double up on the gasket.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Yeah, I didn't like needing to be super focused to the gas level while filling the tank, this is much better. :)

[@800624]

I have had a bunch of old Mustangs. Have 2 65s and a 67 now. Only one that was a pain to gas up was a 67 convertible. Had to fill it slow or it would splash out on you.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Yeah, I wish Ford had something like this back then, but we're good now. :)

What I did on my 1967 Mustang Coupe is. I took a factory gas neck from a 1967/1972 Ford F-100 which are pretty much a straight pipe. I found a aluminum sauce pan that's about 4 inches deep. Drilled a hole for the pipe used a factory style rubber gas for a 67/72 F-100 .Bolted the pan handle to the latch body in the trunk and called it good. It's my version of what the Shelby's used back in the 60's on the GT 350'S. To fill in the factory hole I cut an extra stock filler neck bolted it in place put the stock cap back on and it's done.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Clever! :)

This is the third one of these altered inlets for first gen Mustangs I have seen on KZbin. All installers were very happy with them. My 66 Mustang was my daily driver from 1975 until 1986 when I did a mild restore. I never had an issue with the old filler neck. So while I see some advantage....I'll pass for now. Thanks!

[@AndyKruseChannel]

It's one of those things that you deal with because that's how it is. Then when you find someone modify it and make it better, you realize you've been missing out all this time. :)

That's genius. It must make filling the car so much easier. When I fill my car I crouch down so I can hear how full it is before it overflows.

[@Gtflybmx75]

Oh gosh I gotta do that cause once I get to 12-14 gallons in the I start to put my ear up to it judge it off of that then slowly til “it sounds full” I get frustrated when it backsplash’s onto the tail light panel like why did I do that again lol

[@AndyKruseChannel]

You and I are in the same boat. :)

[@samrotolo7303]

Great idea I think it could be manufactured a little different perhaps not needing sealant?. I have never had a problem maybe I had good practice with my first car being a 68 mustang. I am surprised so many people have a problem putting fuel in their car. I will make the modification but it is low on my list at this moment.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Maybe not a problem putting fuel in the car, but the hassle of needing to make sure it doesn’t spill over.

[@samrotolo7303]

​Based on all the self admitting comments in the videos comments, forums and other KZbin video comments. Houston we got a problem.😂😅

[@drewschumann1]

​@@samrotolo7303 You may think you don't have problems putting fuel in your car, but you are either a liar or only use one fuel pump. I drive my vintage mustang and some pumps are next to impossible to cleanly fuel. You can shove your condescending attitude up your *ss.

What! no action shot of filling the tank? haha, i did see this on Ben Kahan. Ordered!

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Yeah, I saw Ben's video too and I knew I had to have one. :)

[@sergioacevedo2874]

I checked your site and didn’t see them available are they coming soon? Would be nice to set and forget the pump finally. I’d put this in both my mustangs and the Falcon they are all the same. Except the one I upgraded to the 22 gallon tank but I think I can buy the 70 neck for that one.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

I don’t sell them, but I did put the info of where to buy them in description below the video.

[@reggyeadiemdmba3182]

Hi Andy, Great video, thanks. I am ordering but wondered which specific filler neck you ordered (eg zinc plated?), did you order an insert kit, if so which one? Did you order the fuel tank to filler neck nose hose? Thanks

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Yes, zinc plated and with the backsplash piece already installed. I re-used my stock filler hose piece, but I did buy a new cork gasket where the filler neck mounts to the rear valence on the car. The part number for that gasket is C5ZZ-9076-A. :)

[@reggyeadiemdmba3182]

Thanks for the rapid response.

[@reggyeadiemdmba3182]

Sitting here watching your video on your right rear passenger wheel debacle. Ugh!

[@vawarealty]

Andy! my mustang is 1965. I need your opinion! The car starts perfectly. It's iddling fine on Park! but it died when i put to D. Do you have any experience on this?

[@AndyKruseChannel]

It might be your idle mixture screws as the engine has to work harder once in gear (when you're not moving and not pressing the accelerator pedal). When in gear, the torque converter is steeling all the thunder from the engine until you give it enough gas to overcome that parasitic draw. If you had a pinch more fuel at that point (before you press the accelerator pedal), I bet the engine would stay alive. Try redoing your idle mixture screws (I have a video on that), but once you're done adjusting them while in park, have someone sit in the car with their foot firmly on the brake, put it in gear, and back each screw out a tiny bit (1/2 turn?) and see if it keeps the engine alive. :)

[@tonyrussell6776]

this may stop kick back splash at the pump but is does not fix the real problem witch is you still can not fill the car at full speed and all pumping stations do have different speed pumps a vented filler neck fixes this you need to add a 3/8 to 1/2 inch vent hose in the filler neck with a check valve, just like your daily has built in its filler neck

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Do I smell a follow up video? :)

[@jovanistreety6565]

Hey Andy, so i recently installed an one piece cam eccentric for my mechanical fuel pump. I went to crank it up and get no fuel. The pump is old but works (i tested it) i know i have fuel from the tank to the pump. Is there any quirks with mechanical fuel pumps?

[@AndyKruseChannel]

You probably already confirmed that eccentric covers the same path as the stock unit, so it should be actuating your pump. Long shot, but when you installed the pump, did you make sure the pump lever is below the cam and not above it before you bolted it in place?

[@jovanistreety6565]
