Ever been working on your old Ford tractor only to discover that tiny banjo bolt at the fuel sediment bowl is stripped, cracked, or just plain missing? This little part might not look like much, but when it fails, it can shut down your whole operation with fuel leaks or air getting into the system. This 3/8 inch replacement banjo bolt gets your fuel sediment bowl sealed up tight and working like it should.
What You’re Getting
- Proper 3/8 inch thread that matches your original equipment specs
- Strong construction that handles fuel exposure and engine vibration
- Works with the 311272 fuel sediment bowl assembly on your Ford
- Direct replacement for original part 313382 – no modifications needed
Built for Classic Ford Workhorses
This banjo bolt fits the fuel sediment bowls on Ford 501, 601, 701, and 2000 series tractors from 1958-1964, plus the 801, 901, and 1801 models from 1958-1960 with the earlier 172 CID engines. These are the utility tractors that built countless farms – reliable machines that are still earning their keep decades later with proper maintenance and the right parts.
Made to Last
Fuel system components take a beating from constant exposure to diesel fuel, temperature swings, and the steady vibration of hard-working engines. This banjo bolt is built from quality materials that resist corrosion and maintain a tight seal through years of service. It’s designed to handle the fuel pressure in your system without developing the cracks or thread damage that sideline tractors at the worst possible times.
Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward – just thread it into the sediment bowl assembly using the proper copper washers to ensure a leak-free seal. Don’t overtighten or you’ll strip the threads, and always use new sealing washers when you can. If you’re working on the fuel system anyway, it’s a good time to clean out that sediment bowl and check all your fuel lines for cracks or deterioration.
