That's why it's always good to come here and ask first...

There's only two options on RA for rubber filler neck hoses on a 10th gen F150.
The "Spectra Fill Hose" is double layer rubber with cord mesh. The Dorman is just single layer rubber on the cheap price end.

I have the Spectra rubber neck fill hose installed on there now. Looks like the fuel filler attachment itself will have to be Motocraft.

The Spectra hoses aren't properly rated...they aren't rated. Their filler neck isn't finished either, - they spray it with a cheap primer that will rust quickly if you don't paint it properly.
On ebay apparently $42 USD plus shipping and taxes.

I've also heard you have to beat one side of the tank flange over with a BFH to get them to fit correctly...was this correct ? There was a few reasons I didn't go with one. The filler necks I've experienced in the past myself.

I went with this tank...it was finish painted and fit perfectly, -

Liland global is galvanized stainless steel with powder coat finish...
about $100 more than Spectra...

Glad it worked out for you, but I thought you guys steered clear of Dorman goods ?

That first round of snow is long gone, Brew. We had another inch+ last week, but that melted by noon. Hoping that's the last of it. The wind has subsided a bit, too. I'm starting to think we might actually get some summer.

I went ahead and pulled the 95's steering wheel this evening, and need to prep parts for color. Really tempting to toss them in the top rack of the dishwasher (well, not the airbag), but I think I'll do the bucket-soak-and-scrub method. Safer.

anyone ever use this AC Delco fuel system cleaner ?
says it cleans the upper engine !

if it's "oily" it might be a risk on fouling up plugs...
