List,

I have gas fumes leaking from the fuel sending unit on my 1972 Triumph TR6.  
The gas tank is in great shape internally, still see silver down there after 
all these years.

As a temporay fix (so I don't blow up) I have used some gasket sealer around 
where the fuel sending unit sits on the tank.  After replacing every other part 
last winter, for some reason I did not figure it out until this year.

My question to the list, if you have one of those fancy screw drivers that is 
flexible, is it possible to remove the 6 screws and 6 fiber washers, lift the 
fuel sending unit, replace the cork gasket (adding a little gasket sealer) and 
replace everything WITHOUT removing the whole tank?

You know what the book says, I am just wondering if it can be done.

Thanks,

Craig
