    Good info there.

    Man I am really praying for a cracked cover now.

    I should know more tomorrow. I hope it runs stronger when I get all the nasty rubber out of the tank and replaced.

    I don't know the time involved but I got charged $1000 years ago to remove the tank, the most messy part is to drain the fuel.

    Thanks man. This I suppose this repair needs to happen eventually so I just hope it gets done right. Blackhorse is a top notch shop here in LA, so I am very lucky in that regard. At least injectors are cheap if I need them.

    At some point I will ship the shocks to Delta Vee and the car will pretty much be 100% sorted (I hope)....but their turn-around time is ridiculous.

    Just spoke to Blackhorse and yep, the damn gas tank is coming out to determine the root of the gas smell. I assume the job just got considerably more expensive.

    I seriously hope any needed valve/gaskets/etc...are not unobtainable.

    They did indicate that I would have it back on Monday, so that is a plus.

    You called it. Do you remember if Carl worked on your car ?
    He thought my black 456 was one that he had once worked on before.

    Jeff- Unlucky. Have them check the fuel pumps at the same time just in case.

    Jeff, my car is 550, I never had 456 and I don't remember the name of the person owned the business at the time, overall it wasn't a good experience.

    Will do.

    At least it will get done and I will not smell raw fuel 4 feet from the car.

    Sounds bad. I could only smell gas when inside the 575M with one cracked fuel pump cover.

    It would come and go which may indicate the valve/gaskets identified above. Figure I just added another K to the repair.

    Jeff, Fabio recommend securing the support in place by pipe clamp otherwise pump may move out, do you have a picture of finished one.
    Thanks, Sark

    I do not and he made no such recommendation. I know the holder for the 456m is a different size than the others for the 456/550 but again, I communicated with a Fabio several times, he supplies them locally in Italy and made no mention of using a pipe clamp.

    Well this went sideways quick, Fabio just texted me to tell me this into too. is it a big deal ?
    Problem is they installed his part last week without this additional information.

    How screwed am I (if at all) ?
    Is this something I could count on a Good Ferrari Mechanic to know they should sort ?

    Thank you, those pics help, I just informed the shop. Hopefully they just reused the old ones assuming that is possible. See you around LA someday man.

    I bought the Fabio gasket for my 1995 456GT. I am having trouble getting the screen basket over the hose clamp. Has anyone done one of these on a 456 and do you have advice or pics?

    Emailed Fabio and he said I need to rotate it 180 degrees and invert it. I do not see how I would be able to use the basket that way.

    Fits together real nice without the hose clamp in the way.

    Look back up to post 42... the M-gt cars use the 1 piece design. Whereas our pump is a clamshell.

    Right but not sure what you are getting at....

    Clamshell is to get over the two groove bumps on the pump.

    The screw clamp is used on the 1 piece design because there are no bumps on that pump. Pump just looks thinner, as does the Fabio part
