Do the new tanks come with a drain plug in the bottom?? Did you figure out what the problem is with the fuel gauge/sender??
Yes they do have the drain plug. I just need to get a container big enough and clean enough to catch all the gas and reuse it. It's all fresh non-ethanol and that stuff is expensive right now, so I don't want it to go to waste.
Not sure what the deal is with the fuel gauge. I ordered a NOS one that I will replace the old one with. The sender is brand new, and I confirmed it works last time I had the tank out.

While you have the fitting apart, check the line very carefully to be sure there isn't a crack in the flared end. In disassembled relaxed state there may be one that's nearly impossible to see but tightened, if one is there, it may open up.
I'll definitely be checking for a split. Wouldn't surprise me if it did have one. If so, then I might cut the line shorter and use a flex line from the fuel tank to the hard line. It's a pain in the rear to get the hardline to line up with the tank sometimes. Hopefully not though. I got it to seal last time, so I'm hoping I can get it again. I think the fitting is cross threading as it goes in. I'll get it figure out once I drain most of the gas.
