Default fuel pump seal
i replaced my gas tank a couple of months ago and the fuel pump seal started leaking after i put the tank in, so everytime during the last couple months i have gotten low on fuel i pull the fuel pump housing out and try to reset the rubber o-ring. and everytime it leaks. it's really getting annoying. any ideas?

Buy a new o-ring. I'm sure you can get one at Napa or Autozone for like $1

Have you cleaned the area around where the seal seats? have you tried replacing the lock-ring?
