Need fuel tank
Okay guys, need some help locating a fuel tank for a 2001, F-250 Super Crew, long bed with a V-10. It is a 38 gallon tank. This configuration seems to be the only ones with this tank.
The tank developed a leak around the rear vent fitting, and no one located within 150 miles of Macon GA has one. I repaired the leak by agresssively cleaning and coating the outside with JB Weld plastic epoxy. It appears that the leak has returned, and I'm not sure yet if it is jjust the vent hose or the actual fitting in the tank. The fitting is not removable. I really don't want to replace my truck right now. It still runs great and still only has 153000 original miles.
This tank is like the fabled unicorn. They exist (I have one), but no one else seems to have seen one.
Thanks
Ken

As far as aftermarket, I have found a couple but the configuration is different, and I would need to buy all the tank fittings and a new fuel pump, and probably need to reconfigure the plumbing to the tank. The tanks themselves are close to $1K without any fittings or pump.

Problem solved.
Stopped by a local dealer, and since I was having issues with another vehicle I owned, I am now an owner of a 2020 F-150 4x4. Got rid of 2 issues at the same time.

That waas my thoughts exactly. Warranty was up on both the vehicles I traded. The other had a transmission issue

I think this is the part number you are looking for YC3Z-9002-LB Ford midship 38 gallon fuel tank.

Those listed on rock auto are not even close to the correct tank. Not sure where they got there info. They look like they are supposed to be auxilary tanks, maybe mount where the spare tire is located.
