This is the connection between the gas tank and fill tube. Three tries and I still can't get it to not leak. New tank and new fill tube.
The first time was mine using an O ring from Macs. Leaked. Then I bought a Viton #328 (1-7/8" ID x 3/16" thick) and buddy Joe installed it (very experienced). Leaked.
Then I tried again with a thicker O-ring #404 (1/4" thick) and the fill tube would not go in using a wood block and small hammer. So I greased up another #328 and pushed that in. Still leaks.
I can see the gas dripping when the fuel level is above the bottom of the connection. No leaks when the fuel level is lower and sitting in the garage. When the level is down it leaks when I drive due to fuel sloshing.
I need to fix this before I have a fire. Any advice appreciated!
