★ This felt set is specific to the Ford GPW tank design and differs from the Willys MB version. Essential for a correct and quiet tank installation.
Application
Suitable for Ford GPW jeeps (1941-1945) with standard fuel tank beneath the driver's seat. The Ford GPW used a specific tank-to-tank well sealing method that differs from the Willys MB.
Installation notes
Mount the felt pieces between the fuel tank and the metal tank well in the body. The two rings are fitted around the fuel line connection and the drain plug. Some fitters use a thin layer of automotive adhesive to hold the felt parts in place during installation, as the felt itself has no adhesive layer.
Compatibility
This set is specific to the Ford GPW. The Willys MB used a different sealing method with five rubber insulation pieces. Not interchangeable between MB and GPW without modifications.
Historical context
Ford produced the GPW from 1941 with its own design for tank mounting. The felt seals were a Ford-specific solution to dampen vibrations and noise from the fuel tank during cross-country use.
