Restore reliable fuel delivery to your 1979-1981 Mustang with a direct-fit replacement tank built to factory specifications. The original steel tanks on these Fox-body Mustangs are decades old, and rust, pinholes, or seam failures are common failure points that leave owners stranded. This 12.5-gallon unit from All Classic Parts drops into the factory rear mounting location and works with the original sending unit, filler neck, and mounting straps, so no fabrication or adaptation is needed.
Direct-fit rear-mounted replacement. The tank matches the OEM profile and mounting geometry of production Mustangs built before April 1981, so it seats correctly in the rear cradle without modification. Factory hardware reuses without replacement, keeping the job straightforward.
Pressure tested and corrosion protected. Every tank is pressure tested before shipment to confirm seam integrity and freedom from leaks. A protective coating applied to the exterior resists the corrosion that deteriorates original tanks over time, extending service life well beyond a typical bare-steel replacement.
Full OEM-style compatibility. The tank accepts the original-style fuel sending unit, filler neck, and mounting straps, preserving correct fuel gauge readings and factory fit. Cross-referencing to OEM part number E0ZZ-9002-B confirms fitment accuracy for owners verifying against factory documentation.
