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 Ron |

Or put anothe or way, pointing to the middle of the dash.Others can chime in to confirm… |
