Smile Fuel Sender Leaking

I had the same problem with my sender leaking. One of the machine screws was stripped and not holding. I purchased a stainless ring which I placed on the inside of the tank with delco engine sealant and reinstalled the sender. No leaks now. Removal of the tank is simple and takes a very short time to do.

I had the same issue twice. I have a plastic tank in my #982. I took it out once before to find the fuel sender leaking. The large suction plate wasnt very far behind. That was fixed to but found out the factory stripped 2 of the 8 (or 6 maybe) brass inserts molded in the tank so it would never seal regardless. Im in search of a new tank as it a royal PITA to remove and reinstall. Next time the plastic tank comes out its going into the trash. Found some nice ss and alum tanks with larger capacity just custom made. SO now I only put 10-12 gallons in at a time.

You should get the new aluminum tank and put the in tank fuel pump setup in. Would work so much better with your stack injection. When your car was built it just was not an available option. Shoot me an email if you need the info.
