Leaking Tank Sender
Unit
(Applicable to
post-1970 Sprite-Midget, Spitfire, TR7 and post-1965 MGB .)
Cars that use seal
(#293-410) and lock ring (#360-665) to retain the tank sender unit in the gas
tank can suffer from leaks in this area. This is particularly common when a new
tank is fitted and the seal and lock ring are replaced as a matter of course.
The most common reason for a leak here, is an incorrect sequence of assembly.
(This often occurs when the parts books show the components in the wrong order.)
The correct parts fitting sequence is as follows:
(The illustration
shows the parts correctly positioned.)
1. Place the lightly
greased seal against the hole in the gas tank.
2. Insert sender unit
into tank.
3. Place lock ring
over top of unit and turn to lock.
