Fuel leak

[Scott griffith]

Hey everybody need a little help I have a leak around the rim of the fuel sending unit . What is the best way to fix thank for the help

Do you have the original fuel sending unit and does it read properly? If it doesn't read well, you might want to just get a new sender and it will come with a new gasket....

Perhaps just buy a new cork gasket?

You can get the cork gasket material at most auto parts and hardware stores in a roll and make your own with plenty of extra for other uses http://www.myhardwaresupply.com/sto...feed=Froogle&gclid=CL-Kr4bf4tACFdgNgQodPVINmQ

O ok thanks just so I'm make sure your talking about the right part . Is it part number 28 on the diagram you sent me

Not to be rude but make sure you install in the correct orientation as it only goes one way. My 08 was leaking at gasket because it was installed wrong. I spun it one bolt pattern to the right and it aligned correctly.
