Fuel Cell.
« on: March 04, 2015, 08:17:06 am »
So I saw a thread on here sometime last season regarding the shut off valve on the top of the fuel cell designed to stop the fuel from leaking out of the tank in a roll over. It was a reminder to check it.

Going over the car last night I pulled the fuel cell and turned it over with a little of the remaining gas left inside. At first I noticed that gasoline was leaking out between the metal plate and the tank. I tightened down all of the bolts maybe a half turn each and that took care of that issue. The valve seems to be doing its job ok but I’m getting a lot of fuel leaking out of the gas cap.

Is there a seal for the metal plate that sits on top of the tank? Where can I get a new seal for the gas cap? This is the plastic tank from 600.

Thanks,

Eric

If your're looking for the gasket between fuel cell and filler neck top plate, I purchased it from Lane Automotive, termed 12 Bolt Fuel Cell Gasket - P/N FUE1GAS98.  Sells for $15.99.

Hope this helps!  ;D

Not sure of the part number for the cap gasket. When you call Fuel Safe, just let them know it's for a Legends car, they'll get you the right one

Just for future reference. I emailed Fuel Safe and got the following info on the gas cap and gasket.

 The gasket is Part# 1GAS01 for $6.24, and the complete cap is Part# FC225 for $42.12. Both can be ordered online.

Again, thanks everyone!

Do you have a local dealer? This part is something I normally stock, and going to your local Legends dealer if possible probably would have saved you some hassle of trying to find the right part.
