Garage gas fumes

[HO455]

I don't know if you can get a factory sender with the vent tube in it. I believe (but not positive) the later tanks had the vent in the tank not the sender.

I modified mine by drilled a hole in it and soldering a tube in. See the 2nd post down in the link.

The PO of my truck couldn't get the engine to run with a no fuel situation. He replaced the fuel pump but it still wouldn't pick up fuel. He dropped the tank and replaced the sock still no fuel so he plumbed an electric fuel pump in by the fuel tank. He said when he turned the fuel pump on that little hose looked like a sprinkler in the yard. Fuel was spraying every where. The hose didn't leak with out pressure but sucked enough air to keep the mechanical fuel pump from pumping fuel to the carb. .

Having heard that story I always recommend replacing that hose.
