I am replacing my fuel tank along with hoses, filter screen, etc. The only difficult part of this job is finding replacements for the old fiber washers that mount between the tank and the fittings, secured by the union nut(s). These washers are NLA. I've been to a few auto & hydraulic supply houses, seeking aluminum or copper crush washers, to no avail.
Will o-rings work in a "crush" situation? |

You will not find them in the parts category listings but I recall they were listed and priced in the parts diagram thingy in the upper left corner. They were not stocked and I gave up and just put mine back together with the old ones before they actually came. But the Bird claimed they could get everything in the diagram. Most of it actually came too! |
