I am planning to replace my plastic tunnel fuel lines soon. Needless to say, I am going to pull the fuel tank. I am going to replace the strainer screen for the fuel tank. I will probably need to replace the fitting washer while I have it off. Can I get this rubber washer at a good hardware store? I don't want to have a leak after putting everything together!
Thank you in advance for your help and response! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Actually the original sealing washers are made of fiber. I believe the engineers were worried about an electrolytic reaction between the steel tank to the copper washer, to the aluminum tank nipple.
I have some for sale for $1 (for 2) plus postage. -Robert |
