Re: Fuel pump rebuilding

I rebuilt the fuel pump with the kit you guys suggested and now when I install it it sucks the gasket in and it starts to leak fuel. The gasket it sucks in is between the sediment bowl and the inlet valves and outlet valve. Any ideas why it would do that. I took the pump back apart and the gasket looks fine. I did not use any sealer because the instructions said not to. I have talked to a couple mechanics and they said that it might be working too hard getting gas from the tank. I tried it with the gas cap off and still did the same thing. They also told me to horseshoe the vacuum side of the pump so it would not be creating any vacuum for the wipers and such any ideas would be helpful thanks,
