I had the same issue twice. I have a plastic tank in my #982. I took it out once before to find the fuel sender leaking. The large suction plate wasnt very far behind. That was fixed to but found out the factory stripped 2 of the 8 (or 6 maybe) brass inserts molded in the tank so it would never seal regardless. Im in search of a new tank as it a royal PITA to remove and reinstall. Next time the plastic tank comes out its going into the trash. Found some nice ss and alum tanks with larger capacity just custom made. SO now I only put 10-12 gallons in at a time.
