I have a 2g gsx. I changed out my fuel pump for a walbro 190 fuel pump. I tightned down the white ring nut pretty secure. As I tapped it one last time for that extra tightening, it started to seep out of the white ring nut. So I backed it off and its holding fine under idle but when I drive it, it starts to leak again.
Now in the repair manual is highly suggest to use a brand new oem rubber seal, but the seal i had on there looked great still, can I still re-use that or do I absolutely have to buy another rubber seal? For a new one is 25 bucks!
I also noticed that the white connector that is connected to the fuel pump itself, well the top part is wiggling around and looks like it can leak out the top, can I JB weld that to seal it good? I wouldn't think RTV would work for its sealing fuel.
I also noticed that after the install of the fuel pump, my gas gauge would not move. It doesn't have a reading of fuel. Does this mean I need a new fuel sending unit? I checked the connections and they are all good. If so, can I take out the second fuel sending unit behind the drivers seat and move it over to the one connected to the fuel pump?
thanks guys
