So I took the car for a quick spin around the block and let it idle in the driveway. Figured I'd give the GPS the full 15 minutes to try and link up. I never did so I shot Intellitronix an email. Pumped 3 pints of fluid out of the transmission and I'm hoping that resolves the leaking issue. Time will tell but so far I haven't seen a drop out of it.
Decided it was finally time to take it down the main road and put some gas in the tank. Everything was going smooth on the ride there. Threw $20 in it and heard a sound I really didn't want to hear: fluid hitting pavement. Sounded more like water than oil so my first thought was another coolant leak. I left the hood off so that was a quick nope. Then I was thinking it must be puking tranny fluid pretty bad but I didn't see anything under the car until I looked at the back. There was a mini waterfall of gas coming off my diff cover ... FUCK. I slide under it real quick and see it was pouring out of what I assumed was a vent tube. Idk but plugged it the best I could with some napkins (lol) and took off after telling the attendant about the puddle I just left. He was surprisingly cool about it and told me not to worry about it. I got it home and got it up on the ramps I had out to get the gas away from the front of the tank. It worked and gave me time to get to store to buy some 1/4" fuel line to plug it. Got it plugged and took it into the garage and I was thinking to myself that was way more excitement than I was hoping for. I just kept thinking something was going to ignite that gas and my project was gonna go up in flames on it's first real trip from home.
This is where you'd expect me to be able to finally relax but no this is the motha fuckin never ending story we're talking about here. I see gas on the floor of the garage after I check on the plug to make sure it was sealing. Thing is, the plug is bone dry but the tank is covered in gas. After getting even more gas in my face, mouth and hands, I grab some shop towels and dry everything off to see where it's coming from ... the sending unit isn't sealing. I was told that I was better off finding an original 40 year old sending unit lock ring than using the cheap chinese shit on the market today. I figured it was just typical Ma Mopar worshiping but I heard it enough to be concerned. Apparently it's impossible to get most of the new tanks to seal with the shit they supply because they're too thin. So yeah that's what I get for not going with a fucking fuel cell like I wanted. Jacked the front of the car up, wedged a shit ton of shop towels in there and hoping my garage doesn't fucking reek of gas for all eternity.
