    Installing a new fuel tank

    I'm got a new fuel tank for my XL convertible on the way. The pictures of it show 2 holes. One in the fill hole. There isn't a spout or anything to connect the filler tube to. Do I have to fabricate something or will it be obvious when I take out the old tank?  Anyone done this?
    Thanks in advance

    I believe (but don't hold me to it) that a neoprene washer fits in the hole and the filler tube presses through it.

    I used to think that being a car guy was shallow, but now I don't give a crap

    Please, when asking questions, list all the pertinent info.

    Is this the 1969 that you have other threads asking questions about?

    The fuel filler tube is a separate part, attaches to the tank with an O-ring type seal.

    C7AZ-9072-A .. Fuel Filler Tube O-Ring Seal / 2.89" O.D. x 2.17" I.D. / Obsolete

    1967/68 Galaxie/LTD except station wagon / 1968/72 Thunderbird / 1969 Galaxie/LTD and etc.

    Thank you BKW and Lonestar.
    I ordered the gas tank ring. Should go smoothly.
