Cuda Fuel Tubes, Tanks and Straps

Plymouth Cuda Fuel Tanks, Filler Tubes and Straps

Replacing a classic Barracuda fuel tank is a good opportunity to organize the surrounding components into one clear parts list. This category includes fuel tanks, filler necks, mounting straps, J-studs, a sending-unit ground strap and a vapor separator listing. These are separate products with their own applications. Start with the tank that matches the car, then compare the support and connection components needed for that specific installation.

Choose a Barracuda Tank by Year and Configuration

The catalog includes 18-gallon tanks listed for 1970 Barracuda applications, 1971–1972 applications and 1972–1974 applications. There are also separate material and coating descriptions, including stainless steel, zinc-coated steel and Niterne-coated steel listings. Overlapping year ranges are a reason to read the individual application carefully, rather than assuming that every 18-gallon tank is the same.

Compare filler and vent arrangements, sender provisions and any installation notes in the detailed listing. Match these with the tank on the car and the restoration specification. If the car has received an aftermarket tank or a fuel-system conversion, have the builder confirm the required configuration. Capacity and model-year wording alone should not be used to establish compatibility with every modified setup.

Stainless Steel and Coated Steel Tank Choices

Use the material descriptions to compare the products offered for the appropriate application. A stainless steel tank and a coated steel tank can be separate choices within a similar year range, but material alone does not resolve fitment. Check the complete description, supplied components and current availability for the part number you intend to order.

Do not assume that a tank listing includes a sending unit, lock ring, gasket, filler neck or mounting straps. Some restoration orders need these parts separately. Write down what is supplied with the selected tank first, then add the remaining components so that you avoid both missing parts and unnecessary duplicates.

Fuel Tank Straps, J-Studs and Mounting Hardware

Available strap listings include a 1970–1974 E-body stainless steel mounting strap set described as including hardware and an EDP-coated steel pair. Compare those package descriptions with your original mounts. A pair of straps and a strap set with hardware are not necessarily identical packages. Review the A-, B- and E-body J-stud listing separately if your mounting hardware needs replacement.

Check the body mounting locations while the old tank is removed. Corrosion or earlier repairs may need attention before the replacement can be supported correctly. Use the appropriate vehicle service information to establish installation requirements; product category descriptions do not supply attachment specifications.

Filler Neck and Related Fuel-System Components

This category includes 1970–1974 Barracuda filler neck listings, a 1970–1971 E-body vapor separator and a 3-3/4-inch steel sending-unit ground strap listed for selected 1962–1976 Mopar applications. Verify each item’s purpose, year range and connections before adding it to the order. Components described for fuel vapor handling should be matched to the vehicle’s intended configuration.

Browse Cuda fuel tank grommets and filler neck seals for the corresponding seal choices, and Cuda fuel sending units for sender options. Checking these related categories together helps keep the tank, filler tube and sender arrangement consistent.
