Is your quote fair?
A quote between $174 and $574 is inside the band where half of all Ford F-150 fuel tank replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (tank only with pump transferred); above it is not automatically gouging (new pump module with the tank, rusted straps and lines replaced, plastic OEM tank) — but both ends deserve a question.
What moves the price
- Pump renewed with it — the labor is already paid for — many owners replace an aging pump at the same time.
- Straps and lines — what rusted the tank rusted the hardware around it.
- Tank material — OEM plastic tanks can cost far more than aftermarket steel.

Bring it to the shop. Ask for the written estimate split into parts, labor hours and rate, and fees — then compare each line. A shop that explains a number above the range is doing its job; one that won't is telling you something too.
