Title: Station wagon filler neck baffle
Post by: iamflashman on 2011-08-16 07:41
Is the ranch wagon fuel filler neck supposed to have a baffle?  Every time I fill up, it splash back at me and sometimes will slosh fuel out when taking a hard left turn.

This is brand new tank and filler neck and I don't have the original.  Did the orignal's have a baffle?  If so, does anyone have one they want to sell?

I guess it is good to know I am not alone.  I think I will head to the boneyard and try to find a filler neck with a baffle to use.

If I pull this off, I will post some pics.

I think the gas caps were non vented and the tank breathed through a vent line that ran from the top of the tank up into the quarter panel and ended in the fill enclosure.  Have not filled the Ranchero yet but it could be it is just a slow feeder?

The car gas tanks  have a vent tube that goes up into the 1/4 panel , the ranchero and wagons use a vented gas cap.
