Fuel Sending Unit Gasket Leak?

[Spanky_DSM]

Okay for the longest time i had this problem with losing fuel pressure.
I got sick of it finally and Pulled my fuel pump and replaced the O-Ring and problem solved. No more excessive cranking on start ups.

Since then i took a drive with about 1/4th of a gas tank and noticed a smell of gas. Pulled over and saw it leaking from the sending unit. No lines are torn at all.

But i do know he O Ring in the link below is in bad shape. Im worried it might be the tank but is it possible for fuel to leak from the gasket. Before it wouldnt.

These gaskets crack and get brittle over time. If you have disturbed or stressed the sender unit in any way (like making fuel line repairs) in the past, it can make the difference between leaking and not leaking. Replace it and be done!

Are you sure you seated it correctly, and that its not kinked, or ripped in any way?

Oh that gasket thats sitting on there is cracked and aged. It just hadent leaked before so i was wondering if it could of been my tank but i guess this last time i put it one it finaly gave.

I ordered the Gasket on the link in my first post yesterday. Thanks
