s13 fuel pump not sealing causing fuel leak - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Was wondering if anyone else has the same problem as me, my fuel pump seal seems to not be doing its job as soon as i turn on my car fuel begins gushing out. I have tried a couple O-rings from Nissan and new hardware, I am not sure if I am missing something here or what, but was wondering if anyone else has the same issue. I am thinking of putting rtv along with a O-ring to see if that will help. I would appreciate any feedback thanks.

What O-ring?

If you put RTV on a rubber part or to try to seal gasoline, you have royally fucked up.

Does it do it with the feed & return lines connected? Noticed they aren’t connected in the video.
