What should I use as a replacement for the fiber washers that seal the flanges for the supply and return lines on the gas tank? Aluminum or copper crush washers maybe? Anyone BTDT?
I am hoping it is something I can find at ACE. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Well that didn't work. Both fittings leak. And I found out after putting the tank back in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I guess the copper washers weren't good enough. I think maybe they were too thick and did not crush enough. What I really need are some of those thin aluminum crush washers like used on the oil drain plug. But where can I buy them in the right size??
HELP! |
