quick question, need help

Okay, I got my new fuel pump that came with 3 gaskets (same style and thickness), and I got some gasket sealer. My question is do I put gasket sealer on the pump, then put the gasket on, and put gasket sealer on top of the gasket as well? And how many gaskets should I use? 1, 2, or all 3?

One gasket, clean all the mating surfaces good, a small amount of sealer would be ok on each piece. I don't use any sealer on a fuel pump. just good clean surfaces.

So NO sealer on the pump, just between the gasket and the block? And only ONE gasket, correct?

That'll be fine. Make sure you get the rod pushed back up before installing the pump.

A little grease on that rod will help hold it up. Sounds like you're kinda new at this stuff. Just take your time, don't rush it. Your welcome

Clean both surfaces real well and no sealer is needed. That's what the gasket is for.
