Hello all,
I recently rebuilt my fuel pump with a rebuild kit from Moss. I
subsequently found a pinhole leak in another section of the fuel line, so
just for grins a pulled off the sediment bowl to see if anything had been
caught in it. The bowl popped off with quite a bit of force, which I found
to be the result of the new rubber gasket swelling up to twice its normal
size. I realize that gas formulation these days is much different that it
used to be, but this was still unexpected. I bodged it back together by
trimming the swollen gasket down to size with a sharp knife, but if that fix
doesn't put me in the category of "hack", I don't know what does. Has
anybody else had this problem? Does anyone know if there is a locally
available gasket at NAPA that works so I don't have to wait for Moss to
resolve it? Anybody from Moss listening on the list? The fuel was Mobil
premium in SE Michigan.
Regards,
Dave Rupert
