Just had a tank replaced on my 62 F-85 convertible.

The 1/4" metal line coming out of the sending unit is the line that carries
gas up front to the fuel pump then the carb. (It follows a groove in the
top of the tank)

The larger hose that comes out of the tank near the filler pipe is the line
that allows air out of the tank when you are pumping gas. It connects to
the 3/8 pipe fitting that is about 8" down from the top of the filler pipe.


BTW According to my shop manual 2Dr/4Dr bodies all use same tank...
the only different tank is for the station wagon - I guess because the
tank sets farther back from where the filler door is on the body thus a
longer filler pipe (?) And I would guess the tank itself is same and the
repair shop coud swap the filler pipe from a bad tank to a good one if
necessary...
