Ford F-150 — Fuel Tank Replacement Cost

What owners actually paid

Cost by model year

The price holds fairly steady across model years. If your quote is for a car in one of these groups, compare it with that row. Middle half of real Ford F-150 invoices for each group, parts + labor:

What this repair is

Steel tanks rust and plastic tanks crack at their seams or fittings — the giveaway is a fuel smell or a wet spot under the rear of the vehicle. The tank has to come down for replacement, so shops often pair it with a fuel pump if the original has age on it: the labor is already paid for.

Is your quote fair?

If your quote lands between $174 and $574, it's inside the range where half of all real Ford F-150 repairs of this kind land — and the typical job takes about 2 hours of labor. Quotes well below aren't automatically good news (economy parts, or related work skipped) and quotes above aren't automatically gouging (trim variants, premium parts, seized hardware) — but both ends deserve questions.
