Fuel Filler Gas Tank Funnel Tube Replace 8U5A17B068AD 8U5Z17B068A 8U5Z17B068B for Ford F150 Focus for Lincoln Fuel Tank Filler Tube Neck Sleeve (1 PCS)

What It Is

This is a replacement fuel filler tube neck sleeve designed to seal the connection between the gas tank and the filler cap on Ford F-150 (2004–2008), Focus, and Lincoln models. It prevents fuel vapor leaks, debris ingress, and ensures proper fuel system pressure—critical for emissions compliance and starting reliability.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these three things:

• Vehicle model and year: This part (OEM numbers 8U5A17B068AD, 8U5Z17B068A, 8U5Z17B068B) fits 2004–2008 Ford F-150, 2005–2011 Ford Focus, and select Lincoln models (e.g., MKZ, Zephyr). It does not fit Ford Ranger, Mustang, or older F-150s (pre-2004).
• Location: It replaces the rubber sleeve that connects the metal filler pipe to the fuel tank neck—not the entire metal tube or cap. Inspect your existing sleeve for cracks, splits, or dry rot.
• Aftermarket vs. OEM: This is a non-OEM aftermarket part. It matches OEM specs but may have slightly different rubber compound. Measure your filler neck outer diameter (typically ~1.5 inches) and sleeve length (~3 inches) to compare with stock.

Key Things to Know

• Installation is simple – takes 5–10 minutes with basic hand tools (screwdriver, pliers). No special skills needed.
• Common gotcha: The old sleeve may be stuck or brittle. Use a heat gun or soapy water to loosen it—don’t force it or you risk damaging the filler neck.
• Quality note: At $5.99, this is a budget fix. It works well for most users (4.8 stars), but some report the rubber feels slightly thinner than OEM. Fine for a daily driver, but if you off-road or live in extreme cold, consider OEM for longer life.
• Check for additional leaks – if your gas tank is rusted or the filler neck is dented, this sleeve alone won’t solve the problem. Inspect surrounding parts first.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you have a compatible Ford or Lincoln (2004–2011 models listed above) and your current sleeve is cracked or leaking. It’s a cheap, easy fix that stops fuel smells and check-engine lights caused by evaporative emissions leaks. Skip it if you need the entire filler tube assembly or if your vehicle is outside the fitment range.
