Default Fuel Tank Leaking After Fuel Pump Upgrade

Hey,
I did a stage 4 install a couple weeks ago and now my gas tank is leaking.
It's pretty slow and only does it when the tank is pretty full or around sharp turn. I've ordered a new gasket for the top of the tank and I'm going to install that in a few minutes but does anyone else have anythin else I should check out?

Thanks,
Mike

Yes make sure the rubber nipples on the gasket are actually pulled up through the cover, and not wadded up underneath.

I have the gasket. I had a wire going around back stuck in the gasket and that helped. I'm going to install the new gasket tomorrow.

Thanks,
Mike

Mine did the same thing. Found out that the gasket had expanded alittle. Put a new one in and have been running for 7 months leak free

It's pretty simple. Here's a write up from the Turboxs website.
