Product Description
In 2003, Ford crafted a special tank for the 03 and 04 Mustang Cobras. It looked ordinary on the outside but had one of the best internal baffling systems among OE tanks so far. In late 2011, Ford stopped making these tanks. Aeromotive saw a chance to reproduce them. We not only offer reproduction 03 - 04 Cobra tanks but also modify the production tooling to fit all Fox Body Mustangs. And we took it further by building specific A1000 and Eliminator Fuel Pumps that directly bolt onto the top of these tanks. These Fox Body Stealth tanks give top - notch performance from a stock - looking tank, with our reliable A1000 or Eliminator fuel pumps built - in. You can choose either pump and install a seemingly stock fuel tank in your Fox, which has an innovative baffling system, a built - in fuel pump that can meet almost any hp demand, and a pre - pump filter. These tanks directly bolt into 1986 – 1998 1/2 Ford Mustangs. While the Fox Body was made from 1979 to 2004, some modifications are needed for a direct fit. Check the year - specific notes below. Part Number 18685 – 86 - 98 1/2 A1000 Fox Body Stealth Fuel Tank features a built - in A1000 Fuel Pump, a 100 - Micron Stainless Steel Pre Filter, one ORB - 08 Outlet Port and one ORB - 08 Return Port. It bolts into the factory location using factory tank straps. A wiring upgrade is recommended, and it requires a full - return style system. Recommended Parts: Part Number 13101 - EFI Bypass Regulator; Part Number 12301 - 10 - Micron Post Pump Filter; Part Number 12305 - 2' Billet Filter Bracket; Part Number 16301 - Fuel Pump Wiring Kit; Part Number 14101 - 86 - 95 5.0L GT & Cobra Fuel Rail Kit or Part Number 14103 - 96 - 04 4.6L SOHC GT Fuel Rail Kit or Part Number 14104 - 96 - 98.5 4.6L DOHC Cobra Fuel Rail Kit; AN - 08 Fuel Line. For engine swaps, check our Fuel Rail Section for your engine platform. Year specifications: For 1979 – 1985 Mustangs, use an 1986 or later leveling unit and an aftermarket fuel level gauge (73 - 10 Ohm). 1998.5 – 2004 Mustang Stealth Tanks are coming soon. If you have a factory 2003 or 2004 Cobra or Cobra Fuel Tank, it directly bolts into your car. The following Aeromotive Fuel Pump part numbers only fit these tanks (also requires the use of 03 - 04 Cobra fuel level sending unit).
Using this Aeromotive fuel tank is easy. First, make sure you have all the recommended parts on hand. For 1986 - 1998 1/2 Ford Mustangs, you can directly bolt the tank into the factory location using the factory tank straps. But if you have a 1979 - 1985 Mustang, you'll need to use an 1986 or later leveling unit and an aftermarket fuel level gauge. When installing, it's a good idea to upgrade the wiring as recommended. And remember, this tank requires a full - return style system. For maintenance, regularly check the pre - pump filter and the post - pump filter. If they get dirty, it's time to replace them. Also, keep an eye on the fuel level sending unit, especially if you're using a 2003 or 2004 Cobra fuel tank. If you're doing an engine swap, refer to the Fuel Rail Section for the right fuel rail kit for your engine platform.
