Always something...

I was trying to figure out why the ramp truck has such a bad gas fume smell after being closed up for a few day's ever since I had the tank all redone. I got to looking at the tank and neck to see if there was any problems but couldn't find anything. I installed new filler grommet with the tank install. I started looking at the sending unit and figured I would tighten the fuel sender a little more since it didn't look all the way tight. I took it out and put some Dow Corning 111 on the o-ring first. So I get it back together and I closed the doors and let it sit for about 3 hrs today. Opened the door and the smell was barely noticeable. So I figured I had it and cranked it up to put it back in the backyard where it stays and guess what...no fuel gauge reading! WTH is wrong now??? I checked everything and it all checked out wiring wise. I finally decided it had to be the sender so I turned the key on and made one tap on the sender unit lock ring backwards to loosen it up and it came back on! I guess I got it to tight....
