Good Morning,

I hope I got the title close to what I'm doing. Next weekend I will take out the sending unit in my fuel tank, and change the strainer. The fuel gague bounces around, and recently I've lost a little bit of power, and she misses just a tad bit at around 60 mph. I've changed both filters looking for an air leak that might be causing loss of power, but that didn't help. I'm thinking now that the problem might be in the tank area. Is there a gasket that I should replace when I take those parts out? I guess all that I will see is the sending unit & strainer - right? I hope it doesn't have an in tank fuel pump. From what I've found out so far is that I'll remove the back seat to get to the point where I can access the tank top, and take out the sending unit with channel locks. Then I'll clean the sending unit with brake cleaner, and replace the strainer. I sure do hope I get it straight. If there is a gasket involved what would be its name so I can order a spare? Thanks for reading this & Happy Thanksgiving.
