Fuel tank procedures + info needed!

[Big Wang Bandit]

So Im prettuy sure thats whats leaking on my car... I picked up another gastank today, just incase its worst case scenario.....

But okay... I cant find the gasket on champion toyota's parts catalog. Is it a gasket after all?

Would silicone work as a double? I cant tell/recall from past experience if silicone and gasoline mix well.....

Also is there a troubleshooting procedure for a fuel pump/fuel level sender people know off their heads? (since the TSRM is down).

Thanks guys.

When I did my walbro I followed that tip... I didn't have the box thing it talks about but other than that it sure fixed my fuel problems. Its great to have an acturate gauge again

As far as I know... the guage on my car is accurate.. But hell if I know. Ill possibly be drpping my tank on sunday but Im gonna check the possible doner/transplant tank tomrrow when I hammer some fender arches down....

If its coming from up top where you cant see it, it could be the bracket for the fuel pump, the hard lines coming out of it rust out, you have to pull the tank down to see it anyhow.

That is another possibility. Thank god I have a doner...

But my #1 problem still hasn't been adressed..... Will silicone make a suitable gasket for a gasoline application?

 

[tookwik4u89]

It is a rubber gasket on the bracket, dealer should be able to look it up easily, also be prepared for the screws breaking off, seized, i always get new screws when pulling a pump.

 

[tookwik4u89]

If you have the right type of silicone compatible with fuel, but its a mess to get it off and the gasket is cheap.

 

[tookwik4u89]

OK wait, exactly which gasket?? you should be able to re-use the one on the fuel pump bracket off one of the tanks?

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Specifically the fillertube gasket... Are they gaskets or a metal type stopper?

 

[tookwik4u89]

Shit, I dont recall, i think its rubber also, I re-used mine when I did the pumps last year. Pretty sure its rubber.
