I Pulled the tank on my 80 Cruising wagon and found pin holes and a small crack on the top flat part. I ordered a new
Spectra Premium F81A Fuel Tank for Ford Mustang/Pinto this is suppose to fit a 77-80 pinto. Well no way in hell does it fit.
Attached are pictures of the new and old tank. I tried to install the new tank with the hump up . Any ideas what the new tank fits? I cant return it because I painted it befor checking the fit (stupid me )
Thanks
Joe
Used the f81a tank in my 77 sedan and it was a perfect fit. I believe the wagon tanks are different- somewhat larger
Yes the old tank is much larger
Wagon tanks are not the same. Not reproduced to the best of my knowledge.

So I found out. Everything that I read said 77-80 Pinto nothing said not for wagons, So I wasted $236.00.
Mine had rust holes in the same place.Took it to a local radiator/ tank repairshop who soldiered metal patches on it.
Joe,
You should be able to sell it here and get some money back.
how far are you from central calif? I have a pretty good tank from a 78 wagon.
