New member here! Just got good and started on my '65. Biggest issue besides brakes is rust in the ole gas tank. I've heard that any tank '60-'72 will work, wondering if there's any truth to it.

 

The original 1961/69 F100/800 in-cab fuel tank (C1TZ-9002-K) contained 18 gallons.

In 1970 Ford replaced it with the 1970 (1970/72) F100/750 in-cab fuel tank (D0TZ-9002-A) that contains 19 1/2 gallons for use as a "service part replacement."

This 19 1/2 gallon in-cab fuel tank has been reproduced by Blue Oval Truck Parts, it's available from all the repro parts sellers.

 

Thank you so much. I'm sure I'll have more questions to come. Appreciate the patience with the new guy. I love these slick side trucks, been drooling over them for years and finally got one!

Is your tank leaking? You might take it to a rad shop for cleaning.

If I have not already done so, let me take this opportunity to welcome U to FTE!! 'Rust', if not too serious may want to consider using a repair kit. Once tank is drained, removed, and flushed w/ water, the kit basically consist of a 'degreaser' for flushing varnish, gum, or sludge, a 'metal prep' for removing surface rust and etching the tank, then flush thoroughly with water. If there are any pin holes a sealer can be used. If decide to go this route, I have used Por 15 in the past, but there are several similar products one can purchase online thru Ford part supplier's or thru local auto parts and hardware stores. Estimate the cost of flushing the tank probly runs approx. $30, if a sealer is required, possibly $50-$75. I have repaired the tank on 1 65, and flushed the tank on the other, this was many years ago and have not had a problem? Anyhow, food for thought?

 

Thanks again guys. I've got some older friends that are really into the bump side trucks. One of them has supplied me with a good looking tank from a '69. These guys have a wealth of knowledge to pull from, not to mention parts. Does any one know if the sending unit is the send between these two models??

 

Looking for more knowledgeable input from member's. Currently waiting the arrival of the 'sending unit' gasket/seal from Dennis Carpenter; IMO, usually find them correct in item description and application; their online catalog list the seal correct from 61-72, the sending unit application correct for 61 thru 77?

 

D7TZ-9275-G (replaced C1TZ-9275-K & D0TZ-9275-A) .. In-Cab Fuel Tank Sending Unit / Obsolete

1961/66 F100/800 / 1963/69 N500/750 / 1967/77 F100/750.

 

Let us know if that gasket comes with the "O" rings for the sending unit screws.

 

The gasket did include the 'O' rings.

 

Interesting Bill. Not trying to argue with you, but my 65 Operators Manual for F100-F350 lists all F-series cab models at 19.5 gallons. It shows 17 gallons for F100, F250 Chassis-windshield, P-series Chassis, F350 Series cowl or Chassis-windshield models.

So, I thought my tank is 19.5 gallons. I just filled it today, it took 15 gallons, and the gauge (which is innacurate) was just above empty at fill-up. But it shows 3/4 full when full, so I can't trust it.

 

I just looked at my '64 and '66 manuals (cd versions). The '64 lists them at 18 gal, and the '66 lists 19.5.
