What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

'68 C/10 Stepside.
I found I was losing gasoline vapor out of the Fuel Line connector at the Fuel Level Sender junction. Last night I tightened it up. I cleaned up some old teflon tape that seems to have dissolved. I had a new roll of the Yellow Teflon tape recommended for Natural Gas connections, but I wasn't sure if it was any good with the Ethanol they're foisting on us. So I went with Metal-on-Metal.

Added a 5 gallon jerry can of 87 octane, as I had let the fuel level get way down [1/8th tank] so gas woudn't spurt out while operating, as it did when Full.
I'll top it off later and hopefully won't get gas fumes in the cab anymore.
