How do you guys keep the fuel cell from leaking from the sump fittings? I am using 2 -12an fittings, so I had to enlarge the stock holes a bit, however its a tight fit for them.
I got it from a local store that deals with a lot of hydraulic fittings and supplies. I can swear that I actually saw one in an autoparts store too (although I doubt it would be the diameter to fit -12).
That's actually a flexitallic gasket with a graphite winding. Not sure what you're wanting to seal (I don't quite understand the original poster's problem) but that gasket will take a LOT of force to get a seal. It's made for pipe...industrial pipe and flanges.
Mine leaked on my poly call. I just replaced them with teflon washers like it came with and the cell has not leaked sense. Have you tried just replacing them?
Novi357- I haven't been able to find anything good. Tell me how much the washers cost and I will send you some money. I guess I need 4 that fit -12an like yours. Thanks
the best type of nut are those that have a counterbore in the face...this will allow the outer hex part of nut to dig in to the washer and create a "ring" of sorts....
this is better than if the nut was totally flat.
