Went in this morning for the fuel tank safety upgrade, which basically consisted of a lot of plastic parts to ensure my survival from a firey demise when the Kenworth smacks my a$$-end at 70 MPH. The service guys were kind enough to let me photgraph the install, thanks Bryan for your patience and dealing with the salt slush dripping on your head.
CLICK HERE to check out the upgrade procedure. A dozen thumbnails to 600x450's.

The guy at the service department also gave me a copy of the installation sheet, which lists the part numbers for the upgrade kits as follows:
2003 Model Year -

1998-2002 Model Year -
3W7Z-9B007-BA
1992-1997 Model Year -
3W7Z-9B007-CA
The three kits share many of the same parts, listed below, with description and quantity. Parts common to all 3 kits have no stars, parts used for the 2003 have one star (*), parts used for the 1998-2002 have two stars (**), parts used for the 1992-1997 have three stars (***).

I have a copy of the installation instructions, if anyone has the capability to scan it in as a PDF document I can fax it to them, send me a PM...

Thanks for all the detailed info...if even one person adds this kit to their personal car, you may have just done them a bigger favor than you know...I'm seriously considering adding it to my Marauder, if it'll fit. The odds of my getting slammed at 70 may be small, but the cost of the kit is nothing compared to the cost to my family if I ever DID get hit...

I am wondering when my dept will have their cars done. The 2003 PI that I use has not been modified yet. (I don't go on the highway...unless I am running to Wendy's in Milford!) :p
