Thanks guys
As we all know - crap happens. Very dangerous any time some sort of fuel leak is involved, therefore I'm thankful that this time crap happened at the fuel pump and not miles out in the ocean.
Another thing - before I go on a trip I make sure I can get the inspection hatches open by hand. Those things can get on there pretty tight over time and you never know when you might need to get in there. I take them out, (sometimes have to beat them out with a piece of wood and hammer if they are real tight), clean the edges and housing, then reinstall just hand snug.
Also, try not to overfill your tank like I did. I can normally look at my fuel guage and tell how much I need to put in. I just took my eye off the ball that time...but glad I did considering the seal around the sending unit was weak.
