I need to replace the two lower fuel tank outlet and inlet gaskets and I've read that Viton seems to work best for today's fuels. When I run searches for Viton gaskets, all I seem to find is bulk suppliers that want to know how many hundred I need.
Does anyone have a source for these gaskets that sell single gaskets for this application? Thanks, John |

QUOTE(underthetire @ Nov 20 2012, 12:58 PM)  Thanks for the link Jeff. That's the first site I've seen that will sell individual gaskets. Looks like the smallest size they sell is too big for the fuel tank applications which are 8mm ID for the return and 10mm ID for the supply fittings. Sounds like I may have to go with the standard copper washers from AA if they don't make the Viton in smaller sizes. |
