I just recieved my new gas tank ( 07zx5880T ) from JC Whitney, and noticed a couple of differences. The filler hole and vent hole are on opposite ends than my original... and the new one lacks the thing at the top ( emmisions vent? ).
This may be all they have to offer a 1979 ford f250. I was going to call them anyway, but I thought I would ask you pros.
Yep, that hole in the top is for the emissions vent. You should be able to get the tank with or without the emissions hole. The tank w/emissions has the vent tube toward the front, w/o emissions has the tube toward the rear. Also, the tank w/emissions is 20.2 gal. and the one w/o emissions is 22.5 gal. And I'm anything but a pro
I called the JC Whitney and explained what I had... and they did a cross ref... shore nuff'... wrong tank was sent.
Just a simple typo on the web page on thier part on the description made the difference. Matter of fact, they didn't have the one I needed on the web site.
But the customer service was top notch. They are taking care of everything.
