The Fuel Tank Air Relief to Vent Tube Connector (F Tube) is an OE-style fuel system restoration component designed for 1967–1969 Ford Fairlane and Torino, as well as 1967–1969 Mercury Comet, Cyclone, and Montego models (except Wagon). This connector restores the correct factory interface between the fuel tank air relief and the vent tube, supporting proper vapor routing and factory-correct fuel system layout on classic muscle car restorations.
From the factory, this molded connector linked the tank’s air relief outlet to the vent tube, maintaining the original vapor path used by Ford during the late 1960s. Over time, original connectors commonly harden, crack, or deteriorate due to age and fuel vapor exposure. When compromised, the connection can appear incorrect or incomplete within the fuel system. Replacing the connector restores the original routing and factory-style appearance at this critical junction.
Manufactured as an OE-style reproduction, this F tube connector is formed to match original dimensions, bends, and end profiles for a correct fit to factory mounting points. It is produced from high-quality material selected to replicate the original component’s form and function, allowing it to integrate cleanly with original-style fuel tanks and vent tubing without altering surrounding components.
Correct for multiple Ford and Mercury intermediate platforms, this connector is a focused detail part often overlooked during fuel system restoration. Its accurate reproduction supports stock restorations and detail-correct builds where originality and proper component relationships matter.
This component is a direct replacement for the original Ford part and is intended specifically for non-wagon applications within the listed year range.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
