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? |

check these guys out- they have both fiber and copper crush in their catalog- not sure of the size though- can't remember.
http://www.belmetric.com/html/catalog17.htm I had the exact same problem. Finally used a hardware store fiber washer. Since I didn't know how it would hold up in the long term, being immersed in gasoline and all, I assembled before the POR fuel tank treatment was dry, so the washer and the joint are completely sealed with the treatment. Downside- it'll never ever come off again. Hadn't run across Bel Metric yet at that point. |
