For example, it's over 200 miles from Caliente, NV to Tonopah, NV with a medium-sized mountain range in between and no gas. I once shut off my engine and coasted for a few miles on the downslope when I was running low into Tonopah; and once, some Jeepers arrived at Rachel, NV--which at one time had some regular--begging for gas and offering to 'pay anything' for a few gallons. I'm not recommending the practice, but you do what you have to do.<br><br>If the smell is indeed coming through the sleeve, I believe green threadlocker ('Locktite') is meant to be used post-installation of fasteners, as it supposedly weeps into tiny gaps. I have no idea how well it would hold up to today's pseudo-gasoline, though.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 1/1/2021 9:10 AM, warthodson--- via Healeys wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black'>John, <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black'>If the white plastic sleeve is is glued in place it is problematic to try to remove it a try to seal it. As you probably already know, if the fuel is reaching the elevation of the plastic sleeve then it is above the top of the fuel tank & that means that every thing associated with the tank is under positive pressure. Any small leak will be apparent due to the smell of fuel. That would also include the rubber sleeve connecting the tank to the fuel filler tube especially if the fuel tank is filled so that there is standing fuel in the filler tube & then the car is parked. If the leak is small enough, there might not be any fuel visible, only vapor & the smell. You might try parking the car for a few days with the fuel level about 3/4 full & see if you can still smell fuel.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black'>Gary Hodson<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>-----Original Message-----<br>From: John Spaur <a href="mailto:jmsdarch@sbcglobal.net"><jmsdarch@sbcglobal.net></a><br>To: <a href="mailto:rfbegani@gmail.com">rfbegani@gmail.com</a>; 'Bob Haskell' <a href="mailto:rchaskell@earthlink.net"><rchaskell@earthlink.net></a>; 'Healey List' <a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net"><healeys@autox.team.net></a><br>Sent: Thu, Dec 31, 2020 8:28 pm<br>Subject: Re: [Healeys] Fuel sender leak<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Here are some photos of a new Moss after-market sender showing the sleeve.<br>It seems to be glued in place.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div id=yqtfd34727><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></blockquote><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
