Fuel Leak fixed

[georgeramos]

Replaced the diaphragm and it seems there are no other leaks!!! Thanks to all for the helpful advice. One thing I tried that seemed to make the install a breeze was this:

I have a rare earth magnet "stud finder" (btw, for drywalled rooms there is no better stud finder!) that I "attached" to the front of the pump as I was undoing the final screw. The magnet held the old diaphragm tightly in place and also acts as a larger "handle" to pull the cover plate off. The spring stayed put in the hole with no problems. Then on the re-install the magnet holds the diaphrapm tightly in place and you can easily push the screws through the holes in the plate/diaphragm and with the spring still in place easily replace the cover. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone in the future as you've already been an invaluable resource for me!!

The float bowl is still full of fuel, so it would take a while for all of it to leak out.
