    You would have to luck up on eBay to find a new bottle. I believe AutoKrafters sells the hose kit.
    I'm not sure but a Mustang bottle may be close to ours. Worth checking into unless you're looking for exact match.
    Good luck (y)

    Nobody makes a new one for a Maverick. A Mustang tank would strictly would be trial and error on whether it would fit.

    The mounting tabs on the D1TZ are on the sides. The Maverick ones are on the top. The ones in the Mavericks are the same part numbers as 69/71 Fairlane/Torinos I believe. Someone should make a repop of these soon. I think Craig should use his influence on Auto Krafters for these. I think whoever winds up making them would benefit in sales with the multiple applications these tanks fit.

    The 1968/1969 Fairlane/Torino tank has a slight difference in where the hose plugs into the bottom of it. I believe the Maverick tank has a "shroud" around the nipple.....where the Fairlane/Torino one does not. I have seen NOS ones for the Fairlane/Torino fetch $300.

    If anybody was to ever repop one, it would be for the Fairlane/Torino as those guys REALLY step up and spend the money, unlike the Maverick crowd. The Fairlane/Torino crowd would love to have a repop for $150, while the Maverick crowd wants them done for less than $50.

    I was looking in the Ford Master parts catalog and they list the part number as C9OZ17618A with a motor and C9OZ17618B without a motor. These part numbers apply to 1969 and 70 Falcon , 1969 to 1971 Fairlane and Torino and 1970 and up Mavericks. I also believe they fit Mercury Montegos 1969 thru 71 as well as our brother the Comet. This is also as per the Parts interchange manual. Most Maverick parts start with a D0DZ. The first D in the part number designating 1970, a C in the front is for the 60's and most Fairlane Torino parts are an OZ . The Maverick bottles actually have a Fairlane/Torino part number starting for 1969. My bottle is the color of orange juice and Ive try'd to clean it up with several chemicals with no luck. All of the ones Ive seen at shows this year were either not much better than mine or outrageously priced. I would like to see a repop in the $50.to $60. dollar range, no pump nessesary.
