Leaks with Tanks Inc setup
So I primed my fuel system this weekend and I have two leaks. Has anyone ran into this issue?
I have a universal 16 gallon tank, in-tank GPA pump with Walbro 255, and the corvette filter/regulator with Russell hose and fittings all from Tanks Inc. The first leak is from single fitting coming out of the regulator. From the research I've done, I may have messed up the o-ring when I pushed in the fitting. I didn't lube that fitting so I will see if I can pull it back out and take a look. I may have ruined the regulator because it's almost impossible to pull it back out without ruining the teeth (with the tools I have). Worst case, I buy a new regulator (probably go with Wix this time) and be more careful installing. The second leak is somewhere at the pump. It looked like the supply and return fittings were leaking, so I tightened them a little bit but I was still getting some seeping and it almost looked like it was coming from where the pickup and return tubes penetrate the mounting plate. I used Permatex Aviation form-a-gasket on both sides of the cork gasket and anti-seize on the supply and return threads. I think the first thing I will try on this leak is to disconnect both lines, apply Permatex, and retighten and see what happens.
