Yep, stealership stuff.
But can be had through Amazon/Troy Ford. :)
My search was with the part numbers I got off the broken part.
The parts came off my '90 F250 parts truck 19g midship tank.

rubber seal...
F6TZ-9B076-AA ~$6

"two hose"
valve assembly...
1L2Z-9B593-FA ~$31

Part numbers I was working from...
E8UA-9B076-AA
E7UA-9B593-BA

That particuilar valve includes more than a rollover valve, the Ford service
manual sez it also prevents overfilling and provides pressure release. Makes
a big deal about gas-caps need to be made by Ford or your warranty is void
etc.

All three that I've broken were of this type, not the simpler-type like what's
shown in Hitokori's picture with only one hose.

The parts I listed prob'ly only fit -one- vehicle ever made by Ford tho. ;)
The one I got it off of.

Realizing I broke the "purge port" side off of them and not the "canister port"
side. I'd like to get the numbers off the simpler "one hose type" and use it
instead. Maybe I'd have better luck with the simpler-type? ;)

Alvin, I like your thinking. Ive only ever seen the one hose design and ive had an 87 and an 88 and dropped the tanks a few times and never broke anything. The only time something ever came apart is when I had to torch the straps on the 87 rear cause I couldnt get em off. So, if you can do the conversion somehow itll save you a lot of hassle im sure.

Haha, mine too. The charcoal is supposed to collect the gasoline vapors and serve as a storage reservoir until the engine is running and can pull in and burn the vapors. Its one of those stupid emissions things.

Collect vapor from the tanks and float bowls.
When the engine starts vapors are sucked into the intake and burned.

Alvin,
I PM'd NumberDummy on the part # for the single inlet vent.
LMC has them for $24.95 but I want to see what PartsguyEd will sell them for.

I'll reply when I get that info.

The Taurus fans are all over Ebay for $60-80 but you will need a bigger alternator to run the 70 Amp motor and a hefty $15 relay and harness too.
Look for threads about the 3G alternator swap.

You'll prolly need the following, as it doesn't come with the valve:

F6TZ9B076AA .. Vapor Valve Seal (Gasket).

MSRP: $6.20 // PARTSGUYED.COM price: $3.35.

PARTSGUY ED aka Y2KFORD PARTS.COM = Millennium Ford in Seattle WA.

The valve fits: 1980/87 F100/350 I-6 & V8 Mid-Ship & Aft Axle Fuel Tanks.

Fits most everything else thru 1997.

The gasket was used from 1981 thru 1997 on darn near everything.

Is this dealer an FTE sponsor? No.

Who pays for y'all to have free access to FTE?

The site sponsors, and to a much lesser degree, FTE Supporter members.

My search was with the part numbers I got off the broken part.
The parts came off my '90 F250 parts truck 19g midship tank.

rubber seal: F6TZ9B076AA ~ MSRP $6.20 / FTE sponsor PARTSGUYED.COM price: $3.35.

"two hose" valve assembly: 1L2Z-9B593-FA ~ $31
Where did you get this part number from? It's in-correct...unless you have a 2001/05 Explorer or Mountaineer!

Part (ID enginering) numbers I was working from...

E8UA-9B076-AA = F6TZ9B076AA replaced E1FZ9B076B

E7UA-9B593-BA = E8UZ9B593A not 1L2Z9B593FA.
There are no actual Ford part numbers on any parts after 1956, just ID engineering numbers (when applicable).

E8UZ9B593A .. Two Port Fuel Vapor Valve

Fits: 1988/96 F150/350, F(Super Duty) & F53 Stripped Chassis / 300/302/351W/460.

Fits: 1997 F250/350 (over 8500 lbs) 351W / Also fits 1988/96 Econolines, Bronco's and other stuff too numerous to list.

MSRP: $48.00 // FTE sponsor: PARTSGUYED.COM price: $28.80

I knowed that already but, I posted "part" because I don't know
how to spell "ID". :/

Thanks Bill! :)
Got 2 of each of them in my cart. :)

But, what about the single port type vent like the one pictured in
Hitokori's picture? ...
http://images.google.com/url?source=...P-awa63Hot5xgw

Bill, does that valve/vent/part use the same grommet? :)
If so, what's its part number? :)
It'll be cheaper to buy and plenty good for my uses, if it'll fit.
YMMV

I believe I've seen one of those lately but can't remember where. :/
I'm getting CRS. :/

Can't remember.
What's CRS stand for again?

Alvin,

The part # in MY post #26 is for the single port vapor recovery valve.
(sorry if I wasn't clear on this)
