Thread: How to install a Fuel sending unit?????????

My experience has been that self drillers work just fine. Make sure you use the cork gasket and do not overtighten. IMO...you will be just fine.

To help with shavings, feed your shop vac hose in the filler hole while installing.....

I am working the Archives and found this article. My problem is I developed a leak after filling the tank completely and sitting on my driveway which is inclined. I removed the tank, sending unit and fuel line cap I am in the process of installing them back to the tank. When I removed the fuel line cap the gasket that came with the fuel tank when it was purchased was deteoriated ; thus causing the leak. I remember using some sort of gasket sealer with the caps when I was building the coupe. The gaskets were rubber. My question is cork vs rubber and sealant to guarantee no more leaks? One thread mentioned Rector Seal (no joke) purchased at Home Depot. Advice appreciated . Also do the mounting screws need a gasket?

if you tape some garden hose to the end of your vacuum you will be able to get everything out also vacuum the shavings as you drill
