To what poor advise are you refering?
My original post,where all the work was done on my 94 GT?
(This is a 94-95 specific forum after all)
Or the comments from other users contained in this thread,that followed my "poor advise" and had no problems?
Myself; 95 gt
"Worked great"
Acehydro; 95 mustang
"No problem"
WildMike79; year unknown
"Followed to a T,and it worked just as well"
Or the comments from the users who had to drop,or at least loosen the fuel tank straps to complete the job?
Adam95GT: 95 gt vert
"Had to drop the tank"
Ragtopday; 97 mustang
"Could not wiggle pipe out of tank"
Or from the users with who own new edge mustangs?
Lewdog9296: 2000 vert
"At least loosen tank on a 2000"
Physics2010; 02 v6
"Deff need to drop tank"
Chromebeast; 2000 gt
"Had to drop tank".
I'm sorry that your repair ended up costing a lot more,but if you had read the entire thread,it would have been obvious to you that dropping the tank was a strong possibility.
As for you're question,I'm sorry,I don't know the effects of not having the plastic end piece.
But I'm sure other users will chime in with their advise.
But,I would like to thank you for bringing this issue to my attention.
I will go back and edit my original post,with a disclaimer that the steps shown are just a rough guide and may not work with their model year mustang,to prevent future users/readers from failing to properly research before attempting repairs.
