[FWDLK] Gas Tank Leak

[Dick Skinner <dickskinner.ma@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a leak at the junction of the gas float mechanism and the gas
tank in my 1959 Plymouth station wagon.  It could be a bad gasket or
just not tight enough.  Does anyone know where I can get, or borrow a
wrench to tighten or remove the nut holding the mechanism in place?
Also, due to an incredible lapse of thinking, I did not check the
operation of the float mechanism prior to reinstalling the gas tank - of
course the gas gauge does not work.  And, by troubleshooting all parts
of the system, the problem is in the sending unit.  Could be the ground,
although I have attempted to be sure via a separate ground wire, that
the sending unit is grounded.  Any thoughts?
