Just thought I would ask considering that this thread about the fuel system is here. Does Ford make a plastic fuel tank? I know dodge does. (my old parked 81) the only rust problem it had was the steel ring on the top and if you greased it up good it would be fine for years.
Why would somebody do such a sugary thing! Damn people.

since we're talking about fuel systems and problems...i have a problem with my 84 F-150 4x4 300-6....
driving down the highway, with the pedal pegged to the floor, i'm lucky to clear 55 mph, and once in a long while, 60....when my truck is idling, i can smell fuel on the exhaust, and on hills of any decent length, i'm lucky to stay above 35 mph...
also...i'm lucky if i get 8 mpg outta my truck...
feel free to bounce any ideas off me that might help to get better speed
