C3 Fuel sender gasket?
Hi all,
I might need to open up the fuel tank on an '81 soon, to check for debris, etc, and clean it out as required.
This raises the question: When I remove the sending unit from the tank, is the gasket that seals the sender to the tank likely to be reusable? What material is it made from? Is a replacement readily available, or will I need to roll my own out of gasket material?
Thanks in advance.
Be well,
SJW

They are cheap enough that you should just replace it. When I removed mine, it was shot. So I replaced the Rubber O ring
