I can only imagine what she had to say, as if you were not having a shitty enough evening to begin with. Sorry man.

 

This thread has motivated me to put an OEM sock on my Walbro. I have had less ability to run the tank down since swapping that Walbro sock in there.

What did you do? Mine did the same thing, I had the assembly out of the tank for a while and even though I took care to handle the assembly gently because the VFAQ mentioned possibly breaking the fuel gauge sender, when I put it back in the gauge didn't work. Not that I have missed the gas gauge for the year and a half since then.

 

Do these gas tanks require an airtight seal to work properly? Just curious.

 

Cool, thanks man. I was asking 'cause I was unable to get the cap to seat tightly against the plate w/ the fuel lines and stuff. It's just a hair too loose and hitting it w/ a screw driver manages to ream off the knurled edges so I don;t wann do that.

Reason I was wondering is because my car still stutters when not under boost and I am just grasping at straws. I'm to the point to taking it to a shop and paying someone to go over the whole thing to figure it out.
