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, I wound up eliminating them completely. I found that the I.D. of the tank bungs is just about the right size for a 3/8 (or 1/4 maybe,forgot which one?) NPT tap. So I threaded the insides of mine and then added threaded 90° elbows with fuel barbs on them. They have been that way for 3 years now with no leaks. You may wanna try that .
