Why do you need to bother with Green's website, when you can call their free 800 number?

I've listed it in THREE different posts in this thread, probably over a 1000 times in other threads.

And btw: I just called Green, fellow that answered the phone said they've been working on their website for a week.

I will Bill, but right now I'm waiting for the fuel tank I bought from them to be delivered to me. It cost me over 300.00 and I'd like to make damn sure it is correct before I order a sending unit for that tank. Doesn't that make sense?

I called Greens, C&G, NOS in Texas, and contacted 3 different sellers on E-bay regarding the sending unit part #'s Bill quoted above. NONE of them are 5/16 fuel line. They are all 3/8 which is not what my original sender is. What's more is that Greens is a reproduction for 80.00. My conclusion is that since everything went 3/8 in 71, Ford said this will just have to work. It would be nice if they would include an adapter hose or fitting to facilitate the difference. This will be what I eventually have to do but I would much rather have the 100% correct part. That's just how I am. Bill if you know of an alternative I'm all ears.

Wow, the cost of that tank set-up is adding up. $300 for the tank and maybe $80 more for the sending unit.

I have a saddle tank sitting right now. I will go take some pics tomorrow and post them. I believe it may be one of the 71 models, but it was in a heavy duty F250 so it doesn't have an evap system on it.

On the top plate of your original sender should be that sender's engineering numbers. Will look something like C8TF9275G. What are your numbers?

That is the C8TZ9275A that Bill posted about. Maybe someone wasn't holding their mouth right when they looked at it. I would buy the C8TZ9275A from Green Sales. Note, usually you can stretch a brand new piece of 5/16" fuel hose on a 3/8" nipple. Just spray some WD-40 on it 1st. Push the hose on it before you mount it in the tank.

Sender

My Ford parts book says the D7TZ-9275-B comes with a service package which includes the mounting gasket and, just as I theorized in an earlier post, a C8AF-9327-A hose. Undoubtedly this hose is to adapt the replacement senders which all have 3/8 nipples to the factory original size metal fuel line size of 5/16. Greens is a repro. I bought one off of E-bay for 60.00 instead of the 200.00 others were asking for reproductions because it has the original ford packaging with the correct part #. This hose is apparently unavailable anywhere so I'll just use a hard fuel line adapter and a couple of hose clamps. Not the optimum for my purposes since I try to minimize the urban engineering. Stuffing 5/16 hose onto a 3/8 fuel line isn't an acceptable practice.

Really? My Ford 73/79 Ford Truck microfische slide dated 10/1988 (final issue) doesn't state that about the hose. It says:
73/79 F100/350 (reg cab) 4X2 and 78/79 F250/350 crew cab. D7TZ9275B. #D0TF-BA, D7TF-BA. -use with midship fuel tank-includes (1) C0AZ9276A gasket. I did see this hose referenced in one of the Econoline fuel senders however.


C8AF9327A is too old a number for the cross reference slides I have. Nor does it show up in my 65/72 Ford Car, 65/72 Mercury, 64/72 Ford truck, and 73/79 Ford Truck slides.
I did however, run across a fuel hose listed for a 1969 Boss Mustang. Part number C9AZ9C323B. 3/8" x 5/16" X 1.81" long. None on my locators. Discontinued 01/1977 or earlier.


And which of Green's senders is a Repro? As stated above they have all three part numbers in this sender's history.

I would not go as far as "consumed". But 1st,as stated I need one for my 68, and 2nd I have to worry about all future googlers here. I'd sure like to know what "Ford Book" you're looking in. My 64/72 Ford Truck slide dated Jan 1975 (final issue) states your above info is for the D0TZ9275D middle part number. Not the D7TZ9275B. The D0TZ9275D came with the hose in question but that doesn't mean the D7TZ9275B did. This tells me and future googlers that we want to buy the D0TZ9275D from Green sales.



'70-'72 F100/350 "From Ser. H70,001"

Hey Bill can you please post 64-72 section 92, page 7 and 73/79 section 90, page 28?

Hey Bill can you please post 64-72 section 92, page 7 (upper picture: C8TZ-9275-A replaced by D0TZ-9285-D) and 73/79 section 92, page 35 (lower picture: D0TZ-9275-D replaced by D7TZ-9275-B).

Ask and ye shall receive...

In post #20, I listed this same jazz: D7TZ-9275-B replaced C8TZ-9275-A & D0TZ-9275-D .. but I didn't post any pics, cuz I didn't think it was necessary.

Giving a lesson to a Ford parts guy with 36 years of experience, is IMO, a waste of time. And I'm taking about you, kiddo, cuz...I only have 35 years of Ford parts experience.

You're gonna end up like Elwood Batt, 50 years at Ford dealers parts counters. Retired, then went to Ford obsolete, where he died after 23 years working there of a heart attack.

When I asked Elwood why he retired, he said..."I hated the new part numbers!" He was talkin' about the numbers Ford began using in the 1950's!

Thanks Bill. Yea, I caught that. Got a little miffed but brushed it off.
There was one time about 8 years ago I had trouble with a Body Shop Manager. The type that likes to push his weight around but actually knows little. He wanted a complete seat quoted and ordered. To the penny. I tried to explain to him that Ford does not service complete seats and the Vin number helps little. Back then Ford received the seats from their supplier already built. Right to the assembly line. And Ford does not give the quantities required for screws,nuts,clips usually. The pic shows one (for the part number) and the text says AR for the quantity. Meaning "As Required". I tried to get him to give me the quantities and other info I needed. He refused any help. So I ordered the stuff in guessing high on the hardware part numbers. Then something went wrong. He called me up and with his pushy voice asked if I knew what I was doing. Did I just get this job. How come he has to give me information? (THAT I TOLD HIM NUMEROUS TIMES THE VIN NUMBER DOES NOT) And kept belittling me for another 3 minutes or so. By the time he was done I was madder than a Hornet. Blood pressure off the charts. I felt like I wanted to turn in to a Grizzly Bear. He might be the type that pushes around his wife. I wouldn't doubt it a bit. BUT HOW DARE he BELITTLE me! The guy who had Ford's cataloging tie one hand behind my back and HE tied the other! And with approx 28 years of being a darn good Parts Man. I found out later on he never had the car there. He had me order all that stuff in before hand. And what had happened to instigate all this belittling was the insurance company totaled the car out from under him. The worthless twit. Oh, he paid a restocking fee on that stuff all right. I made darn sure of it.
