As a safe bet, I swapped out the fuel cap seal (identical between the old and the new). So I am running the original cap with a new seal.

Bought the whole sending unit assembly from rock auto. Two years it quite. On my second one and we'll see. From what I can see, no where near as good as the original OEM quality.
