All,

I do not know much about fuel pumps except where they are and how much they cost, so I am hoping mine can be fixed.

From underneath my truck I saw gas on the side of the tank. A large seep. I cut the carpet and removed the cover, and found the top of the pump with quite a bit of gas on it. I wiped off all of the gas and started the engine. Gas is coming from on particular place and I am hoping it simply needs a gasket or oring.

Sitting in the back of the truck, facing front, looking down on the pump, there is a circular part that sticks up above all others, and it is divided into four sections. The front driver side section slowly fills up with gas then spills to the next or over the side.



Can someone suggest a fix?

Thanks,

Charlie V

You already answered your question. JB weld it. If it doesn't work you have your access hold in your carpet to replace it.

 

It appears to me that the whole plastic construct there just protects the fuel line to a 90 degree turn down into the tank. Begging the question how and why it is leaking. But I see no reason why I can't just fill it with jb Weld...

 

Mine cracked in the very same spot. I just bought a new one. Just JB weld it, worst case you just buy a new one.

 

I JB'd it and put a quarter on top for good measure. I will check it again in a couple of days and let you know how it looks.

That is an off place for a crack; I have never done anything to my fuel pump.

 

Teenagers...

 

OH NO, your gas tank is pressurizing, you must have a slip gas tank sleeve or maybe its just your head gas tank gaskets

 

Maybe I should smoke test it. Haha

 

Can't live with em, can't get rid of em.
