Glad to hear you found a tank! Did it slide right on without modification?

Hi Upintheair - A new tank should fix any leaks! Is your fuel pump clean and happy?
Cheers,

A lot on times, the threads have over spray from the factory paint job. It's worth a check, to my knowledge the threads have not changed.

Thanks for encouraging further communication with them. After trading measurements between their cap and mine, they are sending a replacement.
I'm glad you got the fuel sensor working. Let us know how the gas cap works out.

I do not sell them but Guaire can point you in the right direction.
