This appears to be a good filler neck hose replacement. It appears to be in good condition. made. The original Ranger hoses appear to crack or fail where the outer hose attaches to the spud of the gas tank. When I topped off the gas tank, I began to notice gas running on the ground. This was the first time I noticed it in 2020 (when the truck was 24 years old). I recently made the decision to replace the hose. I completed the task by removing the vehicle's tank (along with the fuel pump and two tank-related components). (At this point, I'm holding the straps). This is not the method I would recommend. After the fact, I discovered that removing the entire bed, which allows access to the top of the tank where the filler hose connects, as well as the fuel pump and other components, is relatively simple. Six T55 head bolts, two taillight electrical connectors, and three small sheet metal screws holding the filler neck to the body at the fill door are all that is required to remove the bed. (How to do this can be found in a number of YouTube videos. ) Once the bed is unbolted/disconnected, two average people are said to be able to lift it off. ) To replace the filler neck hose from below, support the tank with a floor jack or similar device, remove the two tank straps (first run the tank down to nearly MT, or pump out the gas), and lower the tank until you can reach the hose clamp holding the filler hose to the tank spud, loosen the clamp, and pry the hose off. This was not too difficult, and I was able to remove the old filler neck hose from the vehicle after disconnecting the filler neck from the body. The problem began when the new filler neck hose was installed. It's difficult to pull the hose all the way down the left (driver's) side of the spud while simultaneously tightening the hose clamp because of the hose's bent nature and its size. Maybe if you're super strong, you can do it without difficulty, but I couldn't. I finally got the hose down far enough to clamp it, and everything should be fine now, but it wasn't easy for me. It would be much easier to remove the bed from the top, and I will do it that way if I ever need to. The tank can also be taken out and replaced. By simply supporting the tank with a jack (or removing/replacing one at a time), you can keep the straps in place. For this, the tank can remain in place. Removing and installing the tank isn't too difficult if you have access to a lift and can get the vehicle off the ground, but doing so with the rear end on jack stands is a major pain. In any case, I really like and recommend this new filler neck hose.

4/4/19, I added some comments. This is for my 96 Ford Ranger, which I purchased. The filler neck is of good quality, but when I tried to loosen it up, one of the O clamps broke. I had to use one of the original neck's old O clamps. I had to twist the metal filler in the opposite direction of the directions because it didn't quite line up, but it worked. In conclusion, for the price, it is most likely a good investment. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> It's not worth the trouble. The gas would not fill after I put the neck on. The pump pretended that the tank was full (even though it was only halfway full). After doing some research, I discovered that the flip lid does not line up with the vents on the inside, rendering this part useless! I'd return it if it weren't for the fact that I'd already put gas in it. This product is JUNK, and I advise you to avoid it.

There is an error in the product description. This hose isn't as thick as it claims to be. It also claims to be built to OEM standards. Maybe in terms of dimensions. Ford couldn't and wouldn't use these materials because of the build material specifications. Although this rubber is useful for fuel, it degrades rapidly in the environment, as evidenced by the images in the customer reviews. Simply take a look. Look it up yourself on the internet. I'm not going to post any links because my previous review was rejected. You'll see why it costs only $40 versus $350 or more for a genuine Ford replacement. Granted, OEM costs more in general, but quality accounts for a significant portion of the higher cost. Yes, some people do it for the sake of making a lot of money, but look at the huge disparity between the rich and the poor. That should be enough to tell you everything you need to know. br>br>If you're lucky, this hose will last about a year before cracking up. The outer hose is available for around $40 online and is of excellent quality. I'm afraid I can't tell you where you can find it on Amazon. br>br>I wouldn't park my car in my garage with this hose if I knew it would crack in such a short time. This is gasoline, so you can figure it out. Leaks that are venting into your home or garage It's unacceptably bad even outside. br>br>Don't take my word for it; conduct your own research. Keep an eye on it if you have it installed, especially where the hose clamps are on both ends. br>br>I immediately returned the one I had purchased. br>On the internet, I discovered a real one.

This is a bolt-on replacement for a cracked fuel filler neck that leaked when filling or filling a gas tank. Six bolts hold the Ranger beds in place. You can lift it straight off after disconnecting the tail lights and the old filler neck. With nothing in it, it probably weighs around 200 pounds (3 people/one on each side of the bed can easily lift it off and put it back on). Because the Torx T55 bolts that hold the bed in place are easy to strip and expensive to replace from Ford, do yourself a favor and replace them with some automotive grade hex bolt hardware. To remove the original bolts, you'll need penetrating fluid as well as a long breaker bar or impact. I don't see how you can secure the hose clamps and replace the filler neck without first removing the bed from the frame.

I diagnosed a cracked fuel filler hose when my truck threw an evap code a few years ago. I can't complain too much because the original lasted nearly 20 years. I purchased and set up this hose. The issue has been resolved. for a time. br>br>About a year later, the truck began to throw evap codes once more. The filler hose was cracked, to be sure. Perhaps it was just a bad one, I reasoned. The same hose was purchased again, and the evap code was resolved. for a while. br>br>In the last few months, my truck has been emitting intermittent evap codes once again. When I removed the bed to replace a brake line, I discovered that the hose had cracked again. br>br>At the time of writing (June 2019), this hose has been on the truck for exactly one year. I'm not going to buy this brand again.
