Questions & Answers

What are the lock ring's and o-ring's measurements? (height, weight, and diameter) of the ring ?

I bought it for a mustang gas tank and don't know how big it is.

The lock ring and the gastank are connected by two orings in an 87 Ford Mustang. Because some kits have two orings, is this oring 2 1/8" in diameter?

There was only one o- there was only one o- there was only one o- It's a square-cut ring, not a round one. On a 1980 CJ7, I used mine. It's not quite ready to drive yet, but it's a good fit. I won't know if it seals for a long time, and I have no idea what diameter it is. I apologize for not being of greater assistance.

I was able to solve the problem with regard to safety
5/5

Because of a pressure leak in the fuel tank, I failed my California SMOG test. I discovered that the locking ring for the sending unit was made off center and was not holding on one side when I removed the fuel tank; it must have barely held on when I put it together the first time and then lifted it on one side after I reinstalled the gas tank due to vibrations. I bought a new lock ring on Amazon. Let me tell you, the quality difference and safety features this simple ring has were obvious as soon as I took it out of the bag. There are three raised sections that keep it centered and prevent it from twisting too much. It also has bends to keep it in place. I've attached a photo of my old one, which came with the sending unit, to show how it was punched off center.

Purchases should be avoided
3/5

The gasket is about the same thickness as dental floss. I believe this is the most dissatisfied Dorman part I've ever bought.

I like this shut up because you got the ring and the rubber seal exactly right; it arrived as described and on time; it's exactly what I needed; I can't wait to install it on my vehicle; thank you
