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! |

I just this week replaced my tank, supply line, pump, filter, hose, and screen. Reused original fiber washers before, as I did this time. If they appear brittle, leave them on the tube/nipple and soak them in water for a short time. They will swell a bit and easily slide off the tube, and be reusable.
I have never seen an addition washer of any type used. Only as the illustration shows below. Also just rechecked for that washer, on the old tank fittings, not there.   |
