Hi, I'm here in Canada building a 289 using the running gear from a 2000 Mustang GT (4,6, FI, Emissions...).


I bought a new Gas Tank, which came with new pump and that's fine. However, there were two emmissions components in the old tank, a smaller blue plastic "Vent Valve" and a larger blue plastic thing that rattles. I can buy a new gasket/grommet for the Vent Valve, but the other part is a mystery. Even my local Ford shop could not identify it - they said to start with "it's not a Ford part". I know it is as I took it out of the old, rusty, tank myself.


I am struggling with "How to separate the larger blue plastic thing from the remains of the tank". Does it screw apart from the top? Does it push through the tank? I cut out the tank-metal around it when I scrapped the old tank.


I'm pretty sure I need to re-use it, and the large filter it attaches to outside the tank, or my FI system will constantly throw codes....

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan
