fuel leak

[zilla]

On my 85 K100, I had a pretty good leak from looks like the sender from the gas gauge.

I apologize in advance, but the part that was loose was where the wiring connects.

I did get it tightened up, but was wondering if there was supposed to be a seal in there or not?

It looks like the sender is no longer available.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Does that seal sit inside that big nut?

I finally got that gasket. How in the world do I get the sender apart to put it on?

I've got the sender out of the tank.

And the manual I downloaded shows a different style than what I have.

DISREGARD

I was making things too complicated.

Hope that fixes the problem. Otherwise I think it's the sender itself. Which is no longer available.  :mbird

SHIT!

Doesn't look like it. Appears to be leaking around the sender itself.  :swear:
Any way to cap it off and not use the sender? Thing doesn't work worth a damn anyway. I always go by the trip meter.
