Cobra Fuel Tank Help

[spederman]

A few years ago a local shop sold me and installed a supposed 03/04 Cobra fuel tank/pumps. But looking at it now that i know more about mustangs, I dont think the 03/04 cobra fuel tank has this extra hose attachment i circled in the pic. Only the GT tanks do. Does anybody know where the part number is stamped on the tank? Is there any other way to tell besides dropping the tank and looking inside to see if its baffled?

Maybe they just installed the cobra drop in assembly with pumps..

That looks like the tank setup in my 98, the extra nipple was for the tank fill vent. I had to cut the 1 from my old tank and weld into the 03 cobra tank I installed

My plan is to pull out the filler neck and look in the hole with a flashlight and see if the tank is Baffled, is that something i can do easily without dropping the tank?

cobra didnt have that nipple, check out svtp

a little update, i went out and cleaned off the area of the extra pipe on the tank, and looks like it was done aftermarket , probably by the dude that had it before. This cant be like this OEM from Ford, can it? And if it was added afterwards, if the 03/04 Cobra tank is the only tank that doesnt have that extra pipe, then i'm gonna have to assume its a cobra tank as i was told.

definitely not factory, from there i'd pull the fuel filler and see if it has a rectangular baffle around the pumps. I don't know that the 03-04 cobra tanks were the only ones that didn't have the auxillary vent.

a bit more of the puzzle... i was reading some super old PM's i had saved, and apparently the original owner of the tank was using -8AN braided fuel lines. Would using braided fuel lines require a bung like this?

No, that would be where the fuel fill vent hose would have been on certain years, newer ones have an internal vent setup in the filler neck
