Thought I’d share the specs on the o-ring and some pics of my leaking supercharger coolant line. The fill cap o ring specs are: 50mm OD 43mm ID 3.5mm cross section 3mm thickness Mine was actually in pretty good shape so I applied some zymoil rubber conditioner and reused it. Below are pics of...

I have to replace a leaking coolant hose on my supercharger / intercooler. As part of the drain/re-fill process the manual recommends replacing the o-ring on the fill cap. I've located the part no. as 12583999 "Cap-inter cool fil (o-ring)". Problem is, the part is unavailable/discontinued...

Maybe the wires are reversed on your sending units?

My clone Tech 2 arrived over the weekend and so far it seems to be functioning well. I found it pretty funny just how large this 25 year-old technology is... anyways, below is the reading I have on the fuel sending units. As you can see both seem to be reading correctly at nearly full fuel...

Does this look like the screen (taken from a youtube video for another vehicle) I should navigate to once my Tech 2 arrives in order to get an idea of what's going on with the fuel system? Or is there other diagnostic info I should navigate to?

Well I decided to order the Chinese Tech 2 clone. Fingers crossed... and we'll see what it reveals with the RH sending unit.

Thanks Mickey for the additionnal info. Based on XLRlist's comment about the RH tank not being able to fail to fill, I was doubting myself and decided to double check my observations last night. In the last few years I haven't been putting many miles on the vehicle, so to avoid fuel getting too...

Thanks for the tips Mickey! I have a few follow-up questions for you if you don't mind: Do you typically replace both LH and RH fuel assemblies when you do this job? Or is there a diagnostic procedure you follow to isolate one side or the other? Or even subcomponents? I've watched a few videos...

Thanks for the reply. A Tech-2 would be quite useful in this situation to validate the RH sending unit voltage level. Unfortunately that's one big purchase I've avoided all these years. The vehicle has been garage kept and rarely parked on the street so I think it's unlikely someone...

Hey y'all, I'm looking for some opinions on what parts I should plan to replace on the fuel system (i.e. both LH and RH fuel assemblies, one or the other, or any serviceable components). What I'm observing is that when the fuel gauge reads near empty, I'm only able to fill ~9 gallons until no...

Old thread, same topic though... does anyone know for sure if you can drop the XLR fuel tanks without removing the rear suspension and transmission (despite what the manual says)? It looks like this can be done on Corvettes, albeit with cramming your hands into tight spaces above the tank to...

Sent you a PM.

Quite possible, but I did not observe any noticeable leak while idling in the garage for 15 min or so as I inspected the rad. Granted this is not the same as driving, but is really beside the point. A pressure test while cold (really just not boiling hot) is the best diagnosis.

Thanks & Look Back to Posts 10 & 12 Thanks onalaska! I may take you up on that someday, though I live all the way down in the city by Memorial Park, so its still quite a hike up to Coldspring. Take another look at posts 10 and 12. Post 10 shows the surge tank - where you attach the pressure...

Trans Fluid Check I got around to checking the trans fluid level today. It was 5-6 oz low from the rad replacement. The vehicle needs to be level, so without access to a lift, I used 4 jackstands. This is not the safest thing to do, you must be very careful when positioning the stands, and...
