I have not heard anyone mention the gas tank in a 2002 Sport Trac for the 5.0 conversion. Did everyone use the original one in the Sport Trac? I now it has the fuel return where the Explorer (2000) does not. Appears the change it at the fuel filter to the tank and not any further toward the motor. A little variance on fuel pressure too. Anyone have any updates?

Thanks much!!

So a 2002 sport Trac fuel system puts 65 psi to the fuel rail
It is a returnless system
The three line fuel filter does have e a return to the tank, but the pressure is still regulated in the tank and there is a single fuel line to the engine

The 98-01 5.0 fuel rail with white injectors and one fuel line works with 65 psi rail pressure
So basically they are the same thing, even though the 5.0 trucks do not use the 3 line fuel filter, the 98-01 5.0
Plugs with into the 01-04 sport Trac fuel system
No mods Needed you just have to create a fuel line adapter
