3rd question today I am answering on the fuel tanks issue, but here goes. Some of the work I am able to do myself, but I finally gave up on the fuel tank problem and wound up taking both my 1987 and 1994 to my Ford dealer, both were fixed and I have never had a problem since. I might add that it seems to help maintenance wise if you periodically put in a fuel treatment additive.
