Default Re: Fuel Tank Help

Be very careful what you put on the bolds or around the opening. I had a buddy who purchased a boat and had all sorts of fuel issues. When we drained the tank we found a few little dots of RTV (or something like it) that were from the threads of the screws. When we dropped these in fuel it was amazing how they grew. It looked like they would get sucked up into the fuel line and plug it up. It took some significant effort to get the tank cleaned and operating as it should.

I just replaced my sending unit and did not put anything on it. The rubber gasket was good enough.
