Hey guys, great timing, I just bought the gasket this morning to replace on my '96 GT but had a few questions since the Chilton guide says nothing about this fix. Only one I don't see the answer to: Did you have to release the pressure from the fuel system prior to removing the filler neck from the tank? Everyone I know that I've asked has been divided 50/50 so I figured I'd find someone who has replaced theirs already...thanks a lot!

There is a shrader valve on the fuel loop - like a heavy duty tire valve. If you press it it will release the pressure and probably some gas [X(] since I don't have the gadget to do this the right way I use a lot of rags when I change my fuel filter. I also make sure everything down there is nice a nd cool, have the battery disconnected and keep a fire extinguisher handy

hockey,
I did not realease the pressure. It was pretty easy actually once you get going. Just follow the instructions above, however i also unbolted the filler tube, the 4 8mm bolts on the bottom boot side of the top of the filler tube(right where you filler up) Good luck and hope this helps

Thanks all, I'm going to get the gasket donut rubber thing tomorrow, i work at a dealer, tech will put it in...throw him $50 or so should work...hopefully that part solves it...

Problem solved! Part number: F4ZZ-9072-DA...the rubber gromit thing that secures the fill tube into the tank, it was ripped...all is well now...I was getting tired of 4 mpg for the 1st quarter tank :-)
