My repair woes continue. I replaced the filler gasket filled up the tank but now I have gas leaking from the top of the tank. Is there another gasket on top of the tank? I guess this means I'll be dropping the tank. Is there anything (upgrades) I should do while I have the tank off???

Thanks again

There is the lines and gasket where the pump drops in, and also the grommet where the Canister purge check valve goes in.

You have the O rings for both the fuel pump lock ring and the fuel gauge sending unit. Also the grommet like he mentioned.

So, should I replace the pump and sending unit or any other upgrade while the tank is down?

No point in replacing them if there is nothing wrong with them, unless you want to go with a bigger pump, I would just leave them alone. Why fix something that don't need fixing?

Just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I should replace while I'm in the neighborhood.

Thanks...

O ring on the sending unit was bad. Another problem solved.

Thanks everyone...
