Installed improved top well nut and the new gasket on low fuel sensor. Old gasket was in great shape and looked almost new. Not hard or brittle.
Pickup tube gasket wasn’t leaking and is a nightmare to get to the rear screws, so I left it alone.
For now.
The inside tank picture seems to show the well nut isn’t flush with tank.
I double checked and it is. With mirrors and feeling the edge with my fingers. All good.
The bottom well nut isn’t leaking…..yet, so I also left it alone for today.
Will tackle it tomorrow morning when it’s cooler outside.
Had to cut off top of well nut and push it through into my waiting hand inside tank.
There was no way it was coming out the top without damaging the tank.
Have the fuel fill components soaking in Evapo-Rust.
They weren’t horrible, except the cap.
Should be done in about 48 hours.
Found a NOS fuel cap gasket and will be replacing it. Old one needed replaced anyway.
Yes, I’m very aware the tank needs cleaned up more but will wait until fuel neck is reinstalled.
Luckily the rubber fill neck boot isn’t damaged and is still very pliable.
One more well nut install and a change of fuel filters to go before load test.
