i just got a different gas tank and i put my fuel pump from my old tank in it and its leaking from the back? how can i fix this?

 

need a little more info here..

my tank has an o ring that sits in a groove in the tank and if that oring gets damaged it will leak but other then that there really isn't a way for it to leak unless there is a hole some where or the tank or pump is bent

 

ok hers a pic, i know the fuel pump is on backwards right now but either way it leaks from the same spot when the tank is right side up.

 

is the seal in good shape ? is the tank dented there ?

 

well i just noticed that the seal is just hanging where that screw but im not sure just might go ahead and get a new gasket for it but need to know a quick fix for it for now

 

go to the auto parts store and buy some gasket paper and make a new one

 

I was going to say check the rubber **** thats around the pump that serves no purpose but if you have pulled it out and turned it around im sure u didnt smash it between the pump and tank both times.Do u know what im talkin about? Maybe its part of the seal.Hell i dont remember. But I had one do it one time.Not sure what the problem was but i put gasket maker on it and it stoped.Never leaked again from what i know.

 

well doing alittle research slowly finding out that there is a certain pattern to tighten the bolts and how much to torque them.

hmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Yeah Jr. had the same problem, they are a bitch to get right.

You should let Danielle do it, I bet she can fix it right!

 

how's the tank coming John? I checked and there is no way to have one by tomorrow.
