I'm dropping the fuel tank in my 1999 9-5 to gain access to some underbody rust to repair and to try heat welding the leak sensor crack in the tank. As I unscrewed the fuel pump retaining ring, I noticed that the large sealing O-ring was deformed and would certainly not go back into the groove it's supposed to sit in round the fuel tank opening for the pump. It was too large in diameter now. This is a nearly new O-ring from having replaced a failed fuel pump several months ago. So maybe I tightemned down too much on the fastening ring? I lubed the top of the pump plate as recommended by the WIS before screwing it down. Is there some other O-ring material that might not deform as mucThanx,
