Default Finished fuel pump - New Problem..

God damn ****ing *****!! Just finished installing the Walbro 255 pump. Today I put 10 gallons in the tank and then i noticed gas leaking out all down the tank in a continuous stream. I assume the seal around the sending unit is ****ing leaking like a son of a bitch. Was i supposed to put anything on the god damn seal?

the car was just low on gas. It's nice to know the money I spent on the fuel level sending unit didn't fix the gauge problem[:@]

It wasn't run dry at first, the car was running for a while before it finally ran out.

I will say I'm amazed at how quiet this fuel pump is compared to the stock one.

Can you notice a difference between stock and the 255 ? Power wise...
