This: https://www.harborfreight.com/141-piece-was...ment-67552.html

I happened across this when in line to check out. It just happens to have exactly two fiber washers that match the tank fittings. For four bucks I decided all the other pieces were a bonus.

I smeared both sides with a light coat of hylomar and have not seen any seepage in more than 6 weeks.

One more thing. I did not mark which way the angled sections of the tubes were pointing and it does make a difference how the hoses are routed. I'm sure mine are pointed the wrong way but I made it work. Did not want to loosen and rotate for fear of needing another trip to HF (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

EDIT - not sure but it might have been this pack instead: https://www.harborfreight.com/54-piece-wash...ment-67667.html

On the 3 914s I’ve owned, the pipes have been oriented to about the 2 o’clock position, as if you were viewing from the top down. Or put anothe or way, pointing to the middle of the dash.Others can chime in to confirm…
