Slide gasket off pump canister and seat that into the tank lip with fingers first making sure the gasket seats. After that putting the canister in is easy.

This looks like one of those fiddly things that is all too easy to mess up. Thanks again. |

Dont use silicone sealant , you want silicone lubricant or similar to stop gasket catching and let lock ring turn freely

Got the gaskets, reviewed the service manual and the posts here (thanks guys!) and set to work. The service manual reads as if you're supposed to put the new gasket on the canister assembly before reinserting it into the tank, but then provides a description and diagram for "lubing" the inside of the gasket with gasoline while the gasket is inserted in the tank; meaning that the gasket goes first, then seat the canister.
Anyway, I seated the gasket first then fitted the canister, lubed up the locking ring plate and got the job done. All seems well at the moment and we'll see with the next fill-up whether I screwed something up. Thanks again for the hand-holding. |

Just want to reiterate the importance of seating the pump gasket properly before placing the canister and tightening the lock ring.
Replaced my fuel pump last weekend, and was marveling at how easy the whole thing was. Took less than 45 mins going slow. Only difficulty was placing the canister back in the tank, and A LOT of hammering to get the lock ring tight with all the markers lined up. Turns out I was left with a pretty significant leak after filling up the tank. I took things apart again and tried to reseat the gasket and canister, but this time with the tank full... BIG MISTAKE, as fuel was overflowing everywhere!! Thinking wow this is not good as tried to force that bastard back in... Fuel splashing up in my face. Wow, not safe at all! Got through it and car was driveable, but still with a small leak. Found this thread, and can confirm that YOU HAVE to separate the gasket, seat it first around the fuel tank inlet, then drop the canister in. This time, the canister dropped in like nothing, and I was able to easily and smoothly tighten the lock ring with much less hammering. Markers also lined up much more easily. Found one side of the inner lip of the gasket was shredded/broken off from my first time around doing it wrong. Holding seal now, but new gasket is on order... Funny thing... when I was replacing pump first time around keeping things all neat and OCD, my 9yr old boy walked up to the car (despite my yelling at him to stay back) and said: "Daddy, is that toilet in the back of the car?" Hahaha... |

That's an astute observation. It does look like a toilet. He's a smart little guy.

Ug I fell victim to this stupid gasket as well after installing the Verus Engineering Fuel Starvation Door. I've removed and reseated the gasket 3+ times (with similar fuel spilling everywhere issues as devtec). I thought I got it seated correctly the last time after hammering the lock ring back in place, but I filled up last night and woke up to a small puddle of fuel on the garage floor. I've ordered two new gaskets to give it a go again, although between now and when they arrive I'll need to try to lower the fuel level in the tank to stop the leaking.
This damn gasket/fuel pump setup is pretty poorly designed - with the sprung fuel canister and tight clearances, it's pretty cumbersome. With the new gasket, I'll try to seat it in the fuel tank first before dropping in the pump canister, but when I tried it last time with the original gasket, I couldn't get the angle right with the fuel level float.
