Leaking Glass(need a new fuel sending unit?)

Well another thing to add to my list! trying to fix the great fuel leak or find what part i need(get my first paycheck from my new higher paying job tomorrow ) before i order parts tomorrow night

the picture with the red circle is exactly where the leak is coming from


Any help on what needs to be done would be great!


Thanks
Gavin,

 

I am not 100%, but looks like you need a sending unit and o-ring. Is it leaking where the plug attaches?

 

Does your gas gauge work ? If it does and the leak is from where the circle is try to get tank empty enough that it is not leaking and you can clean that area and put some JB weld there and let cure a day. Then you can get a new sending unit

 

my gauge doesn't work right now. we drained the fuel tank for now and im going to order this part tomorrow when i get paid https://www.autokrafters.com/p-21783-fuel-sender-76-77-maverick-comet.aspx this isn't my daily driver right now so i think i can skip the JB weld

 

this is the one I have in my 76-77 Mav. gas tank...paid $15 for it back then.

Mustang Fuel Tank Sending Unit 1971-1973
from CJ Pony Parts

 

It looks a little different but if you say it works then money saved is money saved thank you!

 

Im just getting around to doing this. How did you get it to connect?

mine had two studs like in this pic.

 

That's the one i ordered but mine doesn't have the plastic. Same part number and everything

 

looks like they changed the sender and not the pic.

 

Yeah thats what im thinking :/

My cousin (has two old mustangs he rebuilt) says i should just make a new connecter

 

I ordered this one a few months ago and it came exactly as pictured
