Default Re: Adapting An OE Gas Tank Sender Unit

Back many years ago I had a PU truck that the previous owner used RTV gasket sealer on the fuel tank hose. The truck would shut down suddenly. after a few minutes it would start only to do the same thing again. I changed all the components that I thought would cause the shutdown to no avail. then one day it would not restart, i traced the problem to no fuel flow. Seems that a glob of RTV would get in the pick up line, then some fuel would back flush it out and it would flow again until it finally lodged in the pick line I spent a lot of aggravation finding the problem. I feel your in trouble because the rubber will not hold up, neither will the sealant. I have used a blue sealant used in the air conditioning trade that's not effected by gas. I would suggest you redo it with the proper materials and save yourself from a roadside dilemma. JMHO
