5.0L EFI Rework on Fuel Line Disconnect Service Tool.

Ford Technical Service Bulletin No. 85-16-25

The outside diameter of the fuel rail, part no. (9D280), crossover line for 1985 1/2 is larger and a slight rework of the disconnect service tool is required.
For 1986 the chassis to engine fuel line connection is changed which necessitates a slight rework of a similar service tool.

Rework a T81P-19623-G1 3/8 inch tool to a 5/8 inch opening which is easily done with a rat tail file.
NOTE: Only the rear edge/opening is enlarged. Spray paint the tool yellow marking/identifying it "1985 1/2 Truck 5.0L Gas Line Only" after the reworking.
