Good news! I got my truck running from its own gas tank. I'm pumped!!

But, in the process of doing that, I have gas dumping out my fuel pump, all around my glass bowl. I'm guessing it's a new gasket that I need for that? A search suggests Felpro 773, but just wanted to verify with someone that that is correct?

Thanks guys!

 

I can not verify the number but I do know that area has always been somewhat problematic.. A gasket is not difficult to make out of some heavy cork gasket material that is readily available at any good parts house. Make sure the thumbwheel is tight. The leak may stop on its own when the gasket becomes soaked with fuel.

 

A warning though, if you make your own gasket.....most part store gasket sheet is a cork/rubber combo, this does not resist ethanol fuels. It will fail over time and clog your fuel system. BTDT
Use only real cork or other fuel resistant material.

 

It took me a couple of attempts to get mine right. Seating the gasket correctly on clean mating surfaces, unsuprisingly, is important.

 

Good job on the gas tank! I did my fuel pump bowl about a month ago and I used a Federal Mogul 773 gasket from Autozone @ $1.50. My fuel bowl hasn't leaked at all.
