all,

im in the process of replacing my gas tank and the pickups underneath were somewhat mated to the old gas tank. a bit of heat helped, but the screen is toast on the supply side an ill be ordering another one.

I kinda have a few questions here...does the supply side have a crush washer in addition to the screen? or does the screen body itself act as a crush washer? and does the crush washer go over the screen (seems like it would) I found a source for the screen that seems to include a washer (link)

so the next question is the crush washer for the return line...I was not able to find this online, would anyone have a source for this size? its a bit smaller than the supply and didnt match up to any in my stache.

Thanks!

The screen I recently purchased had the crush washer, tangerine racing.
Harbor Freight has a box of various size copper washers.

It appears 914rubber may have the washer you need, but I'm not exactly sure. Check the link below and give them a call if you think that may be correct.

I cut up some of my own washers from gasket material and used Hylomar Blue as a compound. It's been holding up well for so far. Found it recommended by others.

914 Rubber only had one with the screen recently.

AutoAtlanta has both correct washers -and I didn't have to anneal them.

Not a drip so far.
