Smelling gas so lifted car, leaking around o-ring of electrical connector of fuel sending unit (LH). Anyone ever replaced this o ring. A new unit is $$$.

The oring around the hat is that what you are talking about? If so yes you can replace that you will just have to drain the gas. take the liner off loosen the 3 fuel lines and connector take the 6 or so bolts catch whatever gas is left take the old one off put the new one in. they are 30-50 bucks

Unfortunately the leak is the o ring around the electrical connector that is in the center of the aluminum hat.
