Description

When your vintage Ford tractor starts acting up—hard starting, rough idling, or fuel contamination issues—the problem might be hiding right under your fuel cap. If your old cap has been leaking or allowing contamination, consider having your fuel system inspected and filters changed to address any damage that may have already occurred. This replacement filler element ensures clean fuel stays clean and keeps dirt and moisture out of your tank where they don’t belong.

What You’re Getting

Direct replacement element that drops right into your existing cap assembly – no modifications needed
Fine filtration mesh catches debris before it reaches your fuel system and injection pump
Durable construction that handles the temperature swings and vibration of daily farm work
Proper venting design maintains tank pressure while keeping contaminants out

Built for Real Farm Work

This element works with the 310030 cap assembly found on Ford tractors through 1964, including the popular 8N, 9N, and 2N models that are still earning their keep on farms today. Whether you’re using that old Ford for loader work around the barn, brush hogging pastures, or running a finish mower, clean fuel is essential for reliable operation.

Made to Last

Test the cap operation to ensure it vents properly while maintaining a secure seal – improper venting can cause tank pressure problems that affect fuel delivery and engine performance. This replacement element is built to handle decades of service just like the original, using materials that won’t deteriorate from fuel exposure or weather.

Good to Know

Before installing the new cap, clean the fuel tank filler neck thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that could prevent proper sealing. Replacing the filler element is a simple job that takes just a few minutes, but it’s worth checking your fuel lines and filters while you’re at it. If you’ve been running with a damaged element, now’s the time to change your fuel filter too.
