1973-79 Ford Truck Non-EFI Fuel Tank

Twenty three gallons. Stock location. No more tank in the cab. The factory put fuel behind your seat and called it done. Fifty years later that tank is a smell you cannot wash out of the headliner and a seam you do not trust. This one hangs behind the axle and fills through the stock location; 31.5 inch x 24 inch x 10 inch with a taper to 6 inch and three baffles inside. Carbureted truck; carbureted tank. The 3/8 inch NPT pick up tube sits on a 12 bolt plate; the rollover safety valve handles the vent. Nothing fancy and nothing missing. The part most people miss: the flange and the bolt pattern are the EFI pattern. When the Coyote lands you drop a Stealth 340 into this same tank and keep going.

  • Fuel moves behind the axle - the stock behind seat tank comes out and the cab stops smelling like a filling station.
  • Twenty three gallons - real range for a truck that was never going to be efficient.
  • EFI ready flange - the 12 bolt plate means a Stealth 340 goes in later without buying a second tank.
  • Three baffles - the pick up stays covered through a hard corner and a steep driveway.
  • Stock fill location - it uses the filler the truck already has; no new hole in the bed side.

Fat Fender Garage offers this built to order NON-EFI tank for your 1973-1979 Ford trucks. It will allow you to remove the old, smelly tank from behind the seat. It works great for carbureted motors but don’t be mistaken, this is baffled and allows you to easily upgrade to a Stealth 340 in the future when you upgrade to an EFI motor.

Pick Up Tube Adapter and rollover safety valve are included.

Don't forget to add: Our fat fender Push Fuel Cap and Adapter and effortlessly convert Boyd 2" NPSM necks to OEM style caps.

Flush Bed Fill: Standard bed fill tank with cap. The standard bed fill tank will come with a threaded cap and neck as shown in the pictures which sticks up approx. 3” and sits just below the bed floor. This will require you to have a bed fuel door.

Fuel Level Sensor: We recommend one of two sending units to fit your needs; A 0-90 OHM fuel level sensor for aftermarket gauges or a 75-10 OHM fuel level sensor if you are using stock gauges with our Coyote Swap tanks.

Rollover Safety Vent: We also include the rollover safety vent, which is a simple ball check valve that allows air in and out of the tank as needed. In the event of a rollover, the ball will drop and block the vent port from leaking fuel. Additionally, it also has a small float inside that will help reduce the amount of liquid entering the vent hose from fuel slosh during normal everyday use.
