A wagon and Ranchero can not fill from the rear, they have to be filled from the side. As we know a Falcon fills from the rear of the car. It appears as if the designers at Ford decided to really cheap out on the Wagons and Ranchero's by using a Falcon tank. I looked at a brand new Ford Flacon tank and soon solved the mystery. It too had a drain plug that aimed upward. The drain plug is aiming UP!! I checked my old tank, original to the Ranchero. When Installed this new tank I noticed something odd about it right off the bat. I knew this tank was as fresh as could be as were all the hoses. I had installed a brand new OEM tank by Spectra Part Number: F55B, just one year ago. ![]() So if my tank vent was flowing properly what else could be allowing pressure to build in my tank. I checked my tank vent (by blowing into it). Pressure which is supposed to be released through the tank vent. I realized that pressure was building in my tank. what on earth could cause it to such a thing. I tried to concentrate on what was causing this odd welling of gasoline from my tank. I would hate to think that my Ranchero was the cause of a car show blaze. It is embarrassing, wasteful and a serious safety concern. Or perhaps you dont see the spreading fuel slick, but do noticed your paint is discolored, antiqued and seems to smell of old fumie gas. Perhaps you pop the fuel cap, to your surprise more fuel rushes from the filler neck as if were an artesian spring. When you return to your car you notice a fuel slick on the ground under your driver side fender. The day is warm, your car might be sitting at a slight angle. On any old day you fill the tank and then drive to work, a car show or perhaps make-out point. Think back and truthfully tell me if this has ever happened to you. Ford opted to use on our sweet little machines. Attention all Falcon Ranchero and Wagon owners! Gather round here my friends and read this thread.
