Issue with Fuel Tank
The stopper on my sullivan fuel tank won't seal properly. After I screw everything it, the stopper still won't seat. I made sure not to over-tighten the screw, and it does not appear that the tank is cracked. Any ideas? Did I just get a dud?

RE: Issue with Fuel Tank
Have you pulled the stopper assembly out of the tank and verified that it is working properly?? With it out of the tank tighten the screw and see if it is compressing the rubber stopper. You should see the stopper expand outward as you tighten the screw on it. If not, it may be time to replace the stopper with a new one.

make sure the stopper is sandwiched between two pieces of plastic or metal.....whatever your tank came with....and make sure the stopper, or bung, as it is called is for the tank you have....if it is all good...the screw need to be tightened more......then a good leak check under some water....seal all the lines with your finger or a stopper and blow through an open line....you don't want to see bubbles.......

Or your not tightening the screw enough. I really crank down on the screw.
