thebeebe5 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 Took my tank out today to find a "full tank" leak. Had a bit of a problem getting one screw out of the sender (aftermarket sender, Tanks Inc polymer tank) as it seems the installer put some kind of adhesive on the threads.... Think the full tank leak may have been caused by the aftermarket sender being too long for the depth of the tank by 3/8". The top of the tank had to be pulled up that distance by the screws to make a fair seal. I hacked off 1" of the bottom of the sender "shaft" so it would not be installed again under stress. Had a good deal of trouble with this one screw, and I think the insert in the plastic is broken loose due to whatever adhesive was used.... Eventually got it out, and noted the float appears to be cracked, but there seems to be no fuel inside it and the gauge worked as it should. Is there some kind of fuel compatible sealer I can put on this and put it back in service? I really want to get the car on the road tomorrow. Wont have time to work on it this week, and got the boss' permission to bring it in Friday for an exhaust manifold swap and probably full exhaust redo. Took the day off from another job to arrange it. figures... Quote
