Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle’s fuel tank configuration and connector style before installation. This assembly is for in-tank use and is listed for vehicles with 1 tube port. Confirm the quick-connect outlet, round connector, and 3/8 in. outlet fitting thread size match the original setup on your Explorer or Mountaineer before service begins.
Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the required hardware as needed during installation. Inspect the tank opening, seal surface, and wiring connections carefully to help ensure a proper seal and reliable electrical contact.
