    My car needed a new fuel level sensor. I replaced it and put the pump back in.. Had troubles removing the hoses.

    I think I might have not connected one of the hose right due to a clip not holding.

    Now tomorrow im tearing it back open but here is my question.. My LTFTs are all over the place now is that cause of the leak. I filled up the tank and it started pouring out.. But then after a point it stopped and I drove it home. I see as low as -22 ltfts and high as 16 ltfts.

    Does a leak cause the ltfts to be like that?

    Kinda vague in your description, but it sounds like the o-ring that seals the pump to the tank isn't sealing properly. That could cause a few issues.....
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    X2 on o ring.. its prob not seated right..or fell in tank on re install... mine rotted out on my old gt and would pour out gas on fill ups or taking a sharp curve.
