Quick question RE fuel pump replacement

Post by skid542 »

I just got into work this morning and I've noticed that I'm dripping fuel under my car. I replaced the fuel pump last night - thank you Frank. I suspect I have a fuel line that needs a new clamp or a clamp tightened down but I thought I'd just ask real quick if these cars have a history of doing this after replacement. I don't need a new gasket for around the pump/sending unit assembly do I?

I'll check it out this evening when I go home and tighten any hoses down but thought I'd ask real quick any how.

Thanks.

I've found that those clamps suck - I would double check them first....

The seal around the sending unit should be good.....I've had that damn thing open more times then i can count, and haven't had any leaks there.

Check the clamps on the lines though.
