Classic Mustang Mod: Stop Gas Spillage and Pump Gas Hands Free!
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 07. 2024
- In this video, I upgrade my car with a new fuel filler neck with a modern insert into my 1965 Mustang. This upgraded fuel filler neck stops fuel overflow/spillage while filling up with gas using modern fuel nozzles. Classic Mustangs have a wide open neck, leading to gas station nozzles not shutting off as they do on a modern car, so if you are not careful, gas can get splash out every time you fill up. This mod fixes that and holds the nozzle in place so you can pump hands-free. Although this specific kit is made for 1965-1970 Mustangs, this concept can be applied to other classic cars.
This video is not sponsored, but if you want to purchase this kit or want instructions, email Doug MacMillin at stangs.r.me@gmail.com

Where/How can I order one? Also, thank for making this. I have same issue and I hate it.
Now that's slick. Ben do yourself a favor never part with that car, you'll regret it later in life.
You’re right
Can you imagine how hard it would be to get your hands on one like that in 10 years without robbing banks or selling a lung? It's dang near impossible now
I still have my 65 Fastback, got it 1988 as a high school graduation gift. Dark Metallic green with black pony interior. 351w with AFR heads, All Global West Suspension and Wildwood brakes at all 4.
And a 67 Shelby GT 500, purchased in 1986, was my father's.
Enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work
A bit of history if not mentioned yet, that incert was originally used in the 70's to prevent refueling with leaded fuel, the nozzle for leaded fuel was larger in diameter than the unleaded nozzle, and would not fit thru the nozzle hole which in turn would cause the leaded fuel to splash out if attempting to lead fuel a vehicle marked "unleaded fuel only"
And that is your 70's dose of trivia for the day
Interesting!
My 75 trans am had that restrictor chiseled out of the neck to allow led fuel to be used lol
This is a great upgrade, I think I'm going to have to do the same! :)
It’s a super easy improvement!
Where do you find it?
@@dogsense3773 He put Doug's email in the description for this video.
I highlighted in description his name and e mail and right clicked then select search google and it came up with a PDF with details and price.
This thing is amazing!!! I bought one for my 68 Mustang and now gas spillages are history. Thanks Ben.
I picked up a '64 Ford wagon back in OCt and have been doing the same. All the small fixes make such a huge differenct in the driving experience. Love the channel!
Just bought one for my 68 project, thanks for making this video!
I am definitely going to get one of these. This thing is so clutch!!
Great! It’s funny how happy it makes me. Such a simple fix
At Y'alls gas prices you can't spill a drop!!!!!! Living with my 66 Mustang for almost 50 years now it;s something I've gotten used to. For a REAL thrill fill my 73 Javelin tank....filler is almost level with tank!!! Good stuff as always! Thx
Haha!
Thanks Ben! Placed an order with Doug yesterday and it's on its way! Will test out when my 68 is back on the road in a month or two.
I was thinking of ordering the fuel filler neck how did it work for you I have a 1968 mustang
I sure like the looks of your car. Exactly how a Mustang should look. I'm an old man that likes it old school. Well done. And your videos are great too!
That's pretty cool! Wish I had something like that when I had my 67. I used to pull the gas pump rubber back while filling and hope it didn't splash on me when full.
It's always cool to hear your car without the typical fart pipe setup.
It's kinda amazing that his car sounds as it does with an X pipe. Usually I hate the sound of an X pipe exhaust. This car I really like. In fact I've never heard a small block Ford sound like this. I'm 62, I been hearing them since this car was new.
I bought one of these about 6 months ago. Still rebuilding my 68, so haven't had a chance to test it out yet. It was a simple mod to put in.
Awesome!
More stang content 🎉
Thanks!
Just saw a Starliner at a car show with patina paint with clear coat over it. It looked awesome!
I'm going to use this on my 72. Fix your speedometer! Love your videos!
Thank you! That’s next haha
Great tip in this video Ben!!! Looking forward to see what your dad pulls out of that storage garage one of these days...lol
Thanks Derek! He’s actually selling stuff at the moment and not buying things😂😂
Nice easy practical upgrade 👍🏼🏁
Yes 🙌
Looks similar to the one in my '73 Mach 1. I'll have to check this out. Always for improvements and upgrades to make it better. I also need a new steering box, and I have a small harmonic vibration I haven't found the cause of yet. But that's part of owning a classic car, working on it is half the fun!
Nice! Can’t have too much fun😃
I agree, filling up my 63 Cadillac is a pain in the ass, you have to fill her up so slowly... but i never thought of changing the filler neck, have to look into that now :) good job!
Thanks!
Will definitely check it out looks handy for our old schoolers i have the rear gas entry as well lol
Definitely 💯
Great content as always... Sweet Sounds @3:36!
Thanks!
With fuel injection, updated fill nozzle, and installing a better steering gear this car will be a good daily driver. Car sounds nice.
I know I’m excited! I’ll be doing the steering box in a few weeks
Hey I just found your channel and I was interested in what your current build for your mustang is not only that but I now want to get myself one because of your videos. Anyway keep up the content!
Love your car, man!
Thanks!
going to try to make my own for my 62 falcon!. hopefully it works!.
keep posting more videos at the house bro🔥 reminds me of the old vids
Hey Ben thanks for the information! I have a 67 mustang convertible and it drives me NUTS filling the tank! Maybe something to consider is doing EPAS steering, no hoses, fluids, or special steering racks. I bought a system from a 2009 Prius for $300 including the shaft, motor and module. Works amazing and not a super complicated installation.
Glad to help! I have a Borgeson on the way but that’s a good idea too
Awesome!!
Totally going to use this on my 69 fast back. Thanks Ben
Awesome! Every mustang owner will appreciate this fix haha
Nice mod Ben, just sent an email to get one of these for my 65.
Nice! It’s a super simple fix
That looks like a great upgrade - why has no one done this before!?! Here in Scotland, we don't have petrol pumps that you can lock on, stand and watch while it fills your car - we have to hold the trigger down until it's full! Being a tall, older guy with a bad back, this is torture and I've got to stand at weird angle for the duration of the fill-up, so this looks like a great invention to me!
Wow that sounds annoying!
Same in Australia. It's simply because they can't trust the general public to not be clumsy and have it drop out and spray fuel everywhere. You're not even supposed to be on your phone near the fuel bowser/pump too.
@@cobyfield9237 LOL! It's getting crazy here in this country, but I'm surprised that the USA allows it considering they are the litigation capital of the planet!
Buying one rn. The amount of gas that has puked out of my 66 coupe is ridiculous 😭 Great video as always!
It’s a life changer
Cool little Item!
Yea, great fix
Sometimes,
It's the small things that add a lot for ease of living.
Yes!
Very nice. I have that came problem with my Chevelle.
It’s super annoying!
Messaged Doug, I need this so bad lol
I knew it would help!
Ben you're killing it with the videos! It does seem like you are reading off a script whenever you're doing your B-Roll and it makes it seem like you're in a rush to tell me everything you want to, instead of taking your time. Just take your time when you narrate and that will make your video quality that much better!
Nice mod I'm building up my 1990 foxbody lx kinda like your building up your 65 a little bit here a little bit there shes not a full on project but she definitely has some things that need to be worked on I've done alot work on her but still have a lot more to do but I'm just taking my time and enjoying the process I want to get a 65 or 67 mustang coupe as well but I'm still a couple of years away from that
Nice! Might want to look for a Stang deal soon. Before prices go way up
I’d love to have this! When filling up my thunderbird I always get the same issue where the pump cuts off late and I have to mop up the seepage from the rear tail fin and fender.
I feel your pain!
All you had to do was pump just a bit slower, pumps back then didn’t pump crazy fast, also JB weld in gas tank is a bit scary, love the idea tho just wish it was tack welded love your videos brotha
For the weight power ratio that car is really fast always wanted a classic mustang..
YOU JUST FITTED THE FITECH AND YOURE WEARING A HOLLEY DOUBLE PUMPER SHIRT !!!!
Saludos de Tijuana que Perron mustang
Thanks!
Love the idea but I thought the gas cap was how the tank vents. This is even more critical if it has an EFI upgrade. Would love to install this but I have a dedicated vent system tied in at the filler neck. I made the upgrade when I converted to EFI on my 69 mustang.
It has a bunch of vents in the insert. The EFI tank also has a separate ventilation tube. So I think it should be fine😎
Hey! 4Speed channel....since the FItech system works great on your car..will you guys be installing it in the 1960 Starliner??? Just asking......love the channel!!!!
🔔😎🇺🇸
Wow. My 63 Fairlane definitely needs this. The tank must be dropped to get the neck off but.... Thank you 👍👍👍😎
Glad to help!
Hey love your video, I have the same problem with my 1968 Mustang. I wanted to purchase this gas tube but Dougs Email you left doesn't seem to work? ?? Is there another way I could get ahold of him ???
Thanks for your time
TIM
Never had that problem.
That's awesome, I'll have to do this to my 65. Does it prevent gas from spilling out during hard acceleration? That is an issue I have been trying to figure out how to fix. Thanks for the great content!
I’ve never had that issue! But nothing shoots out at the pump haha
Install an auxiliary vent and use a non vented cap. 👍👍
@@hotrodray6802 Thanks for the info!
Everyone was always cutting them thing's out since they came out in 1975 👍😎👍
Haha!
That start - post EFI? Tap the key and she goes. My mantra > perfection is never a goal, only progress. For me most of the fun of owning older cars and working on them are the small wins. All of them, but sometimes especially the ones that make you turn back and look at her every time you get out. 👀
Yes! It’s fun fixing all the small things that are annoying. Will be doing an EFI video soon
Pretty cool. I remember this with my 66 Mustang! How do you like your EFI?
Amazing! I’ll film my impressions soon
@@FourSpeedFilms That's good news! I've had Sniper EFI on my 77 Camaro for several years, and I love it. Looking forward to your video!
You have that steady EFI idle now, FiTech really levels out lopes. Doing the filler mod in this video would be a challenge on my Pontiacs and Cuda. Probably need to cut it in half and weld it back together because they are welded to the tank on my cars.
1964-1968 Mustangs are a breeze when it comes to fillers and tanks. I had to replace the filler on my AMC Matador......drop tank and make a filler as none are made today. About 3 weeks......my Mustang 3 hours!!!
@@davevan8864 AMC is hot rodding on hard mode. Same with Mercury to some extent, and certain year Pontiacs. Its lots of fun and requires a lift to get the fuel tank out of a 4th gen F body. The 64-72 A body is easy to get tot eh tank, but the filler is part of the tank.
That would be cool!
@@SweatyFatGuy I like different.......Matador is that!! thx
@@davevan8864 Matadors are definitely different. You just dont see them.
Never knew those things did that….feel dumb I always thought cars cut off 😂…even my 80’s car did…I’ll be changing that someday when I get one
You’ll find out the hard way😂
@@FourSpeedFilms not now 😂😂
I don’t see that guys info in the description
Trust me it’s there😂
@@FourSpeedFilms 😂
Where’s the link to buy one of those fuel neck pipes?
Can you please put the information for the gas insert, I couldn't see the information to buy one. Thank you
Need to get it aligned so your steering wheel is centered :p
Steering box going in soon😎
@@FourSpeedFilms niiiice!
I live in England, there's no way I'll ever afford to fill my Mustang up. But it does look like a good idea.
That’s cool that you have one in England!
👍👍👍
Thanks!
i really appreciate common-sense solutions to problems like this. why not instead of punching divots just drill holes and spot weld the flap in place?
also, someone please save those cars in that shed!
If someone could weld it for me that would be ideal!
Ben, what kind of mufflers does your car have? Thanks
Venom 250s
@@FourSpeedFilms What is the link for that fuel pipe. Thanks
It’s an email address in the video’s bio
Do you have a link to the guy who makes these?
His email is in the description
Please do a flex fuel video !
Don't have a problem with this on my 69 I've owned for 30 years. Pump usually clicks off when it nears full. I can overfill if I try to add more but I can do the same with newer cars.
Where is the link? Please
What size are the tires and how wide are the rim's.
15x7
@FourSpeedFilms thanks for the reply on the rim's size 15×7 can please add what is stamped on the wide oval tire please and thank cheers for Milton Mike.
Will these work on 67-69 cougar?
Hi Ben Kahan
You’re supposed to be getting ready rn😂
That’s weird cause I can lock the hands free gas pump nozzle on my 70 Z/28 and the handle stops pumping when it senses it full and I have no flap on the tank neck. Maybe a better design from GM.😊 BTW gas won’t affect JB Weld seal.
You’re lucky! I’ve had the worst experience for like 7 years😂
While I'm sure this piece will solve the problem. What I'm going to use on my 1967 Mustang Coupe is make a filler like the Cobra's did back in the 60's with a aluminum pot with the filler neck inside. I've rounded up all of the parts now I just need to put it in the car.
Yeah that’s a super cool idea too
Ben , do a rack and pinion conversion !
Too late! Borgeson is on the way, haha
I did the borgeson upgrade this last winter on my 65 which had the original one pinky leaky ps. I absolutely love it the upgrade. It’s also nice having a steering box that doesn’t have any play. I now change lanes WHEN I WANT TO lol.
That’s very exciting to hear!
How
Can I get one?
Since you're no longer Four Speed Films, how about a T5 conversion? Overdrive makes all the difference in these old cars
Maybe in the future but it’s fine for now since I just put in a new clutch and bell housing haha
Just take the filler neck out of the rear panel. Weld in a plate and smooth it out and paint the panel back the color you had it. Then put the filler cap in the trunk and a vent tube out of the trunk maybe over the axle. Just pay attention while filling your tank as you should anyway, gearhead.
Can't find this item on your u tube
The email address is in description
Is there a website
There’s an email in the description
👍✌
Thanks
how i get one for my Mustang
Look at my description
Can’t find it
His email is listed under the paragraph about the video
Yippyyy
Thanks!
My Chevelle does that. Spills gas during fill up.
How much was it
So ‘65 with a ‘66 gauge package? Is your car a ‘65 GT? That would explain the ‘66 style gauges.
I don’t see Doug’s email either
It’s right under the description paragraph I wrote
JB weld is a terrible way to design that......just a simple tach weld is all it needs. Once that jb weld lets go it will end up in the fuel tank.
Doesn't work in NJ!!! Wasn't told this prior to purchase. It is actually worse. Had to replace the original!!
JB weld? No thanks. I’ll install that piece myself by washing it thoroughly and spot welding it in
Can you help me Goldy, haha!
@@FourSpeedFilms I can brother, but I’m in Calgary, Alberta it’s a tad too far from SoCal. Cheers 🍻
You have turned that into a real nice car. Don't paint it. It will ruin your budget and fun.
Thank you! I’d like to paint it satin green but that will be in a while!
5.88 a gallon. Glad I do not live in California.
Haha!
