Had to replace mine on my 03 GT, cost me 156.00 dollars at Big O. Don't take it to a firestone, they will tell you you need to replace the tank, all lines, tank brackets, filler tube, and all screws...They gave me an estimate of 1,235 dollars!!!! Bought the gasket online for 25.00 dollars and had Big O install. Below is a DIY instructions.

That would be great if I was looking for just the gasket, but as I said I am looking for the neck, not the gasket, every site under the sun sells the gasket.

I looked for one for my GT when i had it, all I could find was used from other people or new from dealer. Seems to be the only choices.

I only took mine out once when I dropped the whole tank to replace fuel filter.. It sticks into the tank fairly far (farther than I expected having never taken one out before). Tube was ok but gasket needed replaced and got from ford for like 30. If you're dropping the tank (or willing to go half way with it) then its a pretty straight forward procedure. Unscrew in behind the fuel fill door and also the isolation gasket youll see looking up from under the car and then unbolt by the fuel tank and it pulls out. Not too hard.

btw, if you dont do ebay you can still write these people, they are a business meaning they can do phone orders outside of ebay and accept paypal or credit card.

if your considering doing this yourself.
Ill try and get my pics up and do a small write up on my fuel pump swap. That'll show you most of it I think.

though Im pretty sure the 97 has a different tank due to being a return system. I should be close enough ...
If not, their is a video on youtube of a sn95 GT swapping a fuel pump and they show you how to drop the whole tank for that process. I think it was a BBK fuel pump if you can manage to find it. Its on a red sn95 GT.
