Hi,
I need to replace the washers on the feed and return tubes on the gas tank. This is my second go around with this and I really don't want to do it again! I'm guessing I can go to the local hardware store or automotive store for these, but one of the gaskets is copper and the other is/was some sort of gasket material that is torn. So, what is my best option for replacements? What is going to seal the best and have less chance of leaking? Thanks Steve |

These may be helpful on the bottom end while you are there-

I hate to say this, there was a time I would say German braided was the only fuel line you should ever use, but I have not been impressed with the German braided fuel line in quite some time. |
