  • Button Top Fuel Pump Leak. HELP!!!!

    Well I did it! by that I mean I didn't break the pump. It would have made for a great photo, with one foot on the pass. side tire, the other foot pushing down on the bell housing and my head pushed up on the other tire. Man what I wouldn't give for a lift those drive up ramps don't give my fat old body much room. So yes I was always using two wrenches one on the pump vs one the line nut. Just pulled real hard then took it for a nice test drive and all was well when I hear those solid lifters sing there song. BTW I driving down the main street when this hot 1968 Chevelle 396 pulls along side of me, of course he guns the engine I look back out my window and see he has two large flags sticking from his bumper. One is the American Flag the other MIA for Vietnam so with the sprit of Memorial day I just waved him by. Thanks for all the tips Brian

  • Button Top Fuel Pump Leak. HELP!!!!

    I recently had Fred ( c6zzkgt) rebuild my button top fuel pump. The fuel pump installation went flawlessly except it is leaking/weeping fuel on the output side of the pump. I spoke with Fred who suggested changing fuel lines and checking for burs on the inside threads of the fuel pump. I have since put in a new fuel pump line and a second button top fuel pump that I had but there is still leaking/weeping from the threaded/output side of the pump. I tried to seal the fuel line with 1) white Teflon tape. A BIG MISTAKE. NEVER USE. 2) Now tried Permatex Gasket Sealant ( Hylomar. Non-hardening and non-setting). This car is due to go to Carlisle, PA on Thursday. Desperately need to fix fuel pump to meet Marv and Gene.


    It has been suggested on other forums to use a sparing amount of gasoline resistant (not silicone) thread sealer. One was " Rectorseal #5" . The other " Leak Lock Blue Non- Hardening Liquid." And the last " Gas Oila." Thoughts?

    Disclaimer: This by no means impugns Fred's reputation as an excellent fuel pump re-builder!

  • fuel pump color "gold"

    Hi Fred, I was looking for a good "core" pump to send to you for a rebuild but I missed the window(date)in finding one in time. Yes the pump still pumps (by hand) have not mounted on car yet. So without your great rebuild service I'm stuck trying to get that "Gold" look...BTW you would'nt be looking at a 3rd go around rebuild offer ??

  • fuel pump color "gold"

    After many months I found a button top fuel pump for my Kar, however this poor little pump was covered with oil dirt and krud. I washed it down with gas and got most of the krud off with a tooth brush(s).But it took most of the Gold plate color off the bottom of the pump...so what can I spray or apply to make this pump look stock..Thanks Brian
