Subject: Re: [ercoupe-tech] Wing tank fuel gauge cover question...
Hey Gene: A important thing to give to Univair is how many screws you have
holding the assembly together. The gauges were made with both 6 and 12 screws.
I also found that even though no gasket may have been used originally, that a
total of three gaskets will help to keep the assembly from leaking. When
assembling the unit, use some fuel resistant sealer such as SEALUBE, will help
in avoiding the seepage. You can make your own gaskets from a fuel resistant
material purchased from your local auto parts store.

My fuel guage in the left tank seeped fuel..... The cure was to remove each
screw individually, apply a touch of fuel lube and replace the screws.. I was
surprised to find the leak was up thru the threads.
