1997 gas tank sealant
I've got the new sending unit and fuel pump ready to go in my 1997 K1500 suburban. While taking it apart I had to scrape off the sealant. What type of sealant goes back on?

RE: 1997 gas tank sealant
There isn't any sealant that I've seen... I'm guessing you had to scrape off the gasket that was under the three-pronged lock-ring that was on top of the tank? In that case, the "sealant" is actually a rubber gasket, and getting the lock-ring and the gasket back into place is a royal pain in the butt. Check RockAuto.com for good prices on the lock ring and gasket -- in my experience, you end up replacing the ring too; it's only a few dollars more.
