Topic: fuel tank part number detail

[VINTAGE SPARES]

hi all,
has anybody seen any sort of part numbers on fuel tanks as pictured? that they can post photos up please..
thanks

The stenciled C5ZZ number on a gas tank would be exclusive only to Ford replacement parts.  Would not have come from the factory like that.  The only thing we see on gas tanks, sometimes, is a steel manufacturer marking.

Agree 100% with above.

I've always found the same over the last 25+ years going through junkers and original cars..

**Also, Look at your pic above.  It is a replacement tank.  The 2nd half of the tank number refers it to also being a C7ZA-0002 Replacement.

That part number should read C7ZA-9002, not C7ZA-0002 as I listed above. I fat-fingered it when typing.  Just correcting myself!

One thing that hasn't been mentioned...  While it would be great to use a Ford service replacement gas tank, most of them did not come with a drain plug, so they wouldn't be correct for an early car.
