Title: Sealing stock fuel pump flange Post by: Brandon Sinclair on April 26, 2010, 15:49:31 pm I have a stock fuel pump on one of my type 1's and it weeps a small bit of oil from both above and below the flange. I have used permatex, tried loctite 518 below and used permatex spray on gasket sealer to the gaskets above the flange. I thought I had it licked but then after some 50 miles I see evidence of oil weeping again. Any suggestions on what sealant/procedure to use to stop this from happening would be great. Thanks

That's all I can offer... I've never had one leak. But good luck with it, at any rate. Hopefully, someone can post up a sure fire cure.
