Replace those hoses, they look ancient and do those hose clamps as well, not those generic ones that cut the hose. Buy Norma or Gemi.
Do you want to replace the sending unit of just remove it and check the gasket? Also check this little adapter, often missing and a cause of smelling gas, doesn't matter how tight you make that clamp.

Since the VDO send unit is working perfectly, I am going to leave it for now. But I do need the O-ring. I am going to replace the fuel pump and some of the fuel line. W&N has identical cloth woven fuel line. I will try to find it and the O-ring domestically. Also, I am looking for a (1) round chrome plastic piece/insert that goes in the wing window control and a cap for my window washer fluid. Any ideas? W&N has everything, but the shipping is more than the parts I need, so I am looking in the States.
I’ll check on the cap, that might be a part that I have
Never buy fabric covered 8 x 13 fuel hose from Walloth
The continental line is what you want. I like the look of the original fabric colored line, but you cannot see when the line is failing underneath the fabric.

Got some Continental fuel line from Carl at LaJolla. Just waiting for the isolation mounts for the fuel pump. The Facet pump is SUBSTANTIALLY quieter than the Interco that was there for 45 years. I don't think that I'll be around for 45 more years. That would make me 119 years old!
