I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty confident that there's not any difference between the years (94-97) on the fuel canister.

I have a 95 & 97,.....and I've had the canisters off both of my trucks and from what I can remember they're identical.

I think your right, they look the same (from what I can tell in the pictures.)

I'm going to buy one, if I can't use it, I'll resell it.

Thanks for finding that! I search ebay every now and then for those, and all I ever find a 99+ ones.

whats the point of getting a new one other than leaks/damage? are they hard to clean or do they start to malfunction?

[Dagoosh]

They corrode from the inside due to the water that sits in the bottom. The switchs and stuff can also go bad, but probably not that common.

hmm, i should probably check mine then...

Unless it has a hole in the bottom or its cracked they are completely rebuildable. There are two different ones. Function is identical I believe. A few things in different places. That one on ebay is the older one as stated. The fuel heater is also upgradeable to the Superduty heater.

I got the housing today. The pressure sensor (I think the sensor that turns the change fuel filter light on) is in a different place, the AN fitting are ananged different, and it has an extra bowl/screen housing???

But anyways the harness plugs right in, and it works perfect, so it will work on 96/97. When I took my old one out, a bunch of aluminum shavings came out.... nasty!
