I like gaskets with no goop but if needed I will use the black RTV sealant.

The fill port is needed now, not removing the rear end to refill:-)

Thanks

Ryan

Agree nice to fix now vs later:-)

I am picking up my Canadian made fuel tank after work:-)

I bought a Spectra W31 fuel system, tank, sending unit 3/8, with 1/4 return, and 3 line fuel pump, 3/8 inlet, 1/4 return, plus output line to carb. I even verified the pump output pressure as Eric on here warned of high pressure issues with some suppliers pumps. The great part is I bought these parts from a car guy (he is so excited about my build:-) at the local Ideal Supply/Napa so any issues are easy to deal with.

I will have him set out some black RTV (I very much dislike using sealants where they should not be needed but I dislike leaks much more) I Appretiate the recommendation as always Dan, just something I challenge regularly at work.

I have a trip planned soon to Wixom MI soon so I will switch out a few parts at InLine Tube otw. I accidentally bought a Chevelle pinion bumper instead of the rear end axle bumpers, and one outer tie rod is not correct, easy fixes and they are very accommodating with any requests. I am looking forward to visiting their facility.

I wish I had time to visit a few MI guys but we are going to MI and back same day..... Next time.

Ryan

I use Spectra Tanks in all my builds and I purchase them all through Napa. Here is another Tip,
Open and unwrap the gas tank when you are the Napa store - check the tank for any dents. I had two different occasions were two tanks had two very small dents, they obviously replaced the Tank.

We have a Ryan Weaver - crossing the border [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] Priceless!

Note to self: check for dents.

Nice tip, that will save time later especially as these parts are going to be stored till I am ready to use them.

Even parts in storage somehow acquire dents [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

Or better still, you score a part thinking &quot;I really need this&quot;, go to put it away and discover you already have the part.
There are other versions of this story with different outcomes.
