Re: Quick Question
Its a charcoal filter it vents the gas tank, traps the gas fumes from the tank. It think that 69 was the last year for the vented filler cap.

Why is it that there's seldom time to fix it right the first time, but there's always time to fix it right the second time???
That's not an oil leak
That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!!

Re: Quick Question
My truck's a 71, but the motor is from a full-size car (casting# D1AE). Any idea when they stopped putting those on the Custom/Galaxie/LTD?70_F100 wrote:The change was made late in 1970.hazelnut wrote:Its a charcoal filter it vents the gas tank, traps the gas fumes from the tank.

Re: Quick Question
It depends on what state you are in. None of my Colorado, Illinois, New Mexico bought trucks came with them.hazelnut wrote:IIt think that 69 was the last year for the vented filler cap.

Re: Quick Question
It doesn't depend on the state, it depends on the truck. All 67-'69 trucks had a vented filler cap. And IIRC, all '70-'72 F100s got the evap controls, '70-'72 F250/350 did not.Dragon wrote:It depends on what state you are in.

Kieth, I hate to disagree, but you and I have discussed this before.FORDification wrote: It doesn't depend on the state, it depends on the truck. All 67-'69 trucks had a vented filler cap. And IIRC, all '70-'72 F100s got the evap controls, '70-'72 F250/350 did not.
Like I posted earlier, it was a mid-year change on the 70 F100's.
The MPC doesn't designate a change point, but I can tell you that my truck, J11133, doesn't have it, and I know for a fact it's all original.
For 71/72, you're correct. The MPC shows that all F100's have it.
The P/N for the 70's that have it is D0AZ 9D653-C, and for 71/72 it's D1AZ 9D653-A.
