[FWDLK] fuel tank sender unit leak



Howdy all,

 

I went and topped up the tank on my 300D for the first time, only to watch ½ of it dribble out again. With the price of gas these days I was less than impressed with my cocktail mix of high octane on the garage floor. After a few choice words, I pulled the tank thinking it was the tank itself or the sender gasket but found it to be flowing from where the feed wire enters the sender unit. Looks like the remains of a rubber seal or o-ring under where the wire is soldered on? Does this rubber piece act as an electrical insulator as well as a seal? Can I just “un-solder” the terminal connection lift the top plate put in a fresh o-ring and re-solder? The unit was working well and with the price of these things on ebay I’d like to be able to save it.

 

Thanks much for any help.
