Again, thank you for sending them, it says the expected delivery is 10/11.
Also, i guess I didn't get the rear tank sealed as I thought I did, so this weekend I'm dropping it again. Is there a certain adhesive that gets sprayed on the lip of the tank or should I use a gas resistant RTV?

Ok well it's on its 2nd oring now. The area was wire brushed clean both times so I can't figure out why it's leaking. I've done about a dozen fuel pumps over the years and never had this problem...thanks for the advice.

Glad to hear that, I thought I was the only one who cluttered their toolbox with parts, I keep trying to put them elsewhere, but they make their way back.

The tank itself may be no good?
The sealing ring at the top of the tank is welded on the tank
They can fail right there
You should be able to see if the square o-ring gasket has slipped when you remove it the next time
You should also be able to see if it was squashed enough to seal correctly

So maybe a green one will do you
What's the diameter?
Picture of the flange next t time you have it apart
Some of the flanges have a round groove for the O ring and need a thicker round O ring
I think the green ones are a slightly bigger square

Yes, this tank has a groove. The original gasket was flat and orange / remand it covered almost the whole lip. Hopefully I'll get the tank drained and dropped tomorrow to get a picture. I wonder if Ford would still carry a gasket for it?
