Removed my fuel tank tank and had it cleaned and sealed. Tangerine SS fuel lines are in and ready to reassemble. One question, are the supply/return connectors on the tank supposed to have any gaskets or or are they just compression? I ask because when I removed them, they were loaded with so much crap I couldn’t tell if there was anything or not...

Yes there are supposed to be under each “nut” a washer. I can’t remember the
material they were made from. There was a fella here making them and also had some NOS ones. I’ll try and find a link. Maybe search the Stoddard catalog. |

That way it can seal the joint. In fact the washer is on the tube in your picture. It would not be a bad idea to replace it with a new one. Ray |
