Who It's For

This fuel tank is best for owners restoring or maintaining 1964-68 Ford Mustang models and 1967-68 Mercury Cougar models who want a reasonably priced, vehicle-specific replacement. It suits hobbyists and mechanics who plan to reuse existing filler necks, sending units and straps, since the tank does not include a filler neck, sending unit or mounting straps.

Those who need a complete drop-in solution including a filler neck, sending unit or straps should look elsewhere or plan to source those parts separately. Buyers who require a baffled sump or attached sump design should confirm their application needs because this tank is not baffled and has no attached sump.
