Finally got the SOB back into the tank. I guess with the Texas heat, the new gasket/seal swelled up and I spent 5 hours struggling with the new seal, the OEM and an extra one I had to see which would fit. I was following the directions on the FAQ. WRONG, FAQ!!!!
Please revise the directions, Art ?, to include the following:
In case the second set of ridges does not allow the seal to enter, then one has to use a lot of vaseline and ( this is the heresy!) INSTALL THE SEAL INTO THE OPENING OF THE TANK FIRST, THEN PUSH THE SENDING UNIT VERY CAREFULLY INTO THE SEAL'S OPENING. BE SURE TO USE PLENTY OF LUBE SO THAT THE SENDING UNIT SLIDES IN EASILY.
Thanks,again, Kerry.
