It is possible that someone put the silicone on there to stop a fuel leak either through the sender or around the gasket. But RTV is a poor choice for this. > 2 - The fuel pump has the plastic-like label wrapped around it still intact, > and looks new.

If you leave it on there then the fuel attacks it, and it eventually turns into more trash in the tank clogging the filter. The reason for the plastic is presumably to protect it in applications where it is mounted outside of the fuel tank. Is the DeLorean the only car that mounts this pump inside the tank? > 3 - The rubber lines inside the tank are showing signs of degradation so > they will be replaced while I am in there. Any suggestions on the best > source for these? I like PJ Grady's fuel suction hose best. The DMC/Texas one is similar but I don't know if the materials are as good. It is less expensive, though. I like PJ Grady's orange fuel lines that go outside the tank. They are hard to melt the fittings on properly until you learn the knack. It took me about a dozen tries until I could do it near perfect. I heard that the fuel lines that DMC/Texas sells was a variety that you don't melt on like the originals. These used regular hose clamps which would be a lot easier to install, but not the same as OEM. I don't know if they are still using this type or if this type is better. So far the fuel tank boots suck. They are made of a material that will start showing rot in a few years. The boot covers are even worse. Eventually fuel vapors will attack them and make them wrinkle up like a raisin. Walt Yahoo!
