recently i noticed, whenever i fill my tank up with petrol i seemed to have a leak. it would only leak for a tid bit then stop after a certain amount leaked out. i come to find the leak was coming from somewhere on the top of the petrol tank, so i pulled my rear cushion out and checked the pump seal. apparently it has begun to leak from the seal somehow. i had recently switched my pump and of course not having the ridiculous special tool. i used a hammer and a large flat tip driver to remove the retaining nut. is there anyway this nut, may have come loose due to not having the proper tool? or is it that i had a used seal that i placed back in it? what are my options to fix this? or am i screwed and have to buy a new fuel pump that comes with the new seal and or nut? also does anybody know of a place where i can buy the special tool to remove the retaining nut? i don't want to mess the nut up any more than it already is.
