the car he did a bench test and it fuel gushed out as if there was no seal installed, he looked at the old rusted tank seal and found it to be much more robust so he got a gm seal #10152293 and installed it and again he bench tested the tank and no leak, the l020 seal that comes with the new tank and one is included with the new sending unit is an incorrect fit or wrong size or diameter it also is very flimsy compared to the gm seal. This seal is listed for many gm cars including mine.

I have contacted spectra premium about this problem,now I am contacting you also please have these parts inspected!!
