I installed a new gas tank AND sending unit...........thought I got the right one but the sending unit only has 2 tubes on it.
One to pump the fuel to the fuel pump and the other is the overflow or return line back to the tank.
I have the carbon canister and I see the line going back to the fuel tank.
Now since there is no 3rd tube in which to hook up the vent line, can I just plug the vent line?
Odd thing is the fuel sending unit has a place to just lay a hose on top of the fuel sending unit and then pinch
the tabs around it.
I ask this now since I now have a fuel leak which seems to be on top of the tank. I thought I did okay with the install but now,
I am getting gasoline deposited on the top of the tank.
I just dropped the tank and cannot find the source of the leak. I installed all new hoses but I am going to redo the entire assembly
since this is not a job I want to do again.
Do I need to get a fuel sending unit for my 1979 Cutlass Calais WITH that 3rd tube going back in to the tank?
Or do you think my leak lies elsewhere.............I'm off the road until this gets fixed sad to say.....
So:
Can i cap off the vent line back to the tank?
Can I use the 2 inlet fuel sending unit or do I need to get the one with 3 inlets?
Thx,
