Re: Fuel leak

IF it’s is the bladder, and IF it is the RH tank, and IF you have long range tanks, and IF you want to risk the labor effort on installing a used bladder, I have one for sale. I know that is a lot of IFs.
I would make you a good deal on it. PM if all the ifs work.

Re: Fuel leak

90% of the time you just need to snug up the sender bolts. Simple cork gaskets. Open headliner a bit, careful with the teeth. Screw driver bit and ratchet wrench.
