Hey all,

I have been fighting an engine dying issue for a while, and am at the step of replacing the fuel sock in the tank and cleaning the tank.
I have the tank drained and removed. The tank is awesome. The sock might have had enough crap on it to cause the issue, we'll see.
Anyway - 2 lines on bottom of tank, supply with sock and return. I ordered the sock a while back (I think from 914Rubber?) and it came with a copper washer the same as the larger one in the pic. The return line also had a gasket, but it is a fiber washer, not copper. Looking for that gasket, I saw on the AA site that they have a large and small fuel tank seal listed, so I ordered a set thinking it would have me covered.
So, the smaller copper washer from AA appears to be the right size for both lines. But if that is the case, why did the sock come the larger washer?
Which is right for each? I want to be damn sure this is right, as reinstalling and filling the tank is a crappy way to find out it leaks.

Thanks!

Interesting
It shows no washer inside the nut.
It also shows no home for the large washer that fits over the strainer.

I think #15 914 201 213 10 is the washer. The diagram on AA shows it as NLA.
My gas tank has been out for months now as I haven't seen a definitive answer on where the gaskets go on the tank pipes. Don't want to find out it leaks after it is all back together.
