leaking fuel sending unit

BTW Redfish you nailed this one!...so the RTV stories are still rolling, come on people be honest :) Daredevil, I probably lost about 5 gallons, and of course as the gas level decreased so did the pressure and the loss of gas...attention to detail I see :) I could have pulled the sending unit out with the tank installed, but I dropped the tank for exactly the reason to check the entire unit, clamps, hose, pump fitting etc. It was leaking out of the bottom of the lock ring, it was obvious. Like I said the fault was in the actual cheap lock ring that came with the unit I bought online, the lock ring is crap, and not as thick as the original. No leaks so far....stay away from Item Number 1A-FSU-00007 69-74 Chrysler "A" Body Gas Tank Sending Unit from 1.a.a.u.t.o DOT com. Unless you like nice premium fuel all over your little town :) Actually, the owner of The Round up pizza place called the cops, because my car was pouring fuel, when I got out of the store, it was my cop friend calling me on my cell...pretty funny. The only thing I got out of this deal was a cool police escort home!

Thanks all.
