[DML] Re: Sealing the Fuel Pump Ring

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Using foam would make any future service in the area a near
impossablity. If you ever had to go in there you would destroy the
rubber boots, wiring, and hoses (some of these parts are EXPENSIVE!).
You would also probably put a lot of debris into the tank in the
process. A better way would be to just clean everything up really
nice, replace any deteriorated parts, use silicon grease on the
electrical connections, and open the area up once a year for
inspection. Properly assembled with good parts you should not have any
problems and if you do you will catch it before it gets bad. The real
problem in this area is that it is a "hidden" area so it is ignored
for 20 years. When you finally do open it up the boots have been bad
and the inner boot has been full of water and gas for a long time.
Regular inspection and maintaince is all that is required.
