Gascolator gasket

[kgassert]

Does anyone have a part number and source for the gascolator gaskets before I go cut my own?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hate to say this....but farm boys never change........take it down to the farm machinery dealer, find the old parts guy, no whippersnapper kids, & he will fix you right up Ken

Be carefull about the material. Cork and 100 LL do not go together. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Since when? Cork has been used for sender floats and gaskets in gascolators and senders forever.

I was wondering the same thing....

I know that they have to be sealed (shellacked?) to keep them from becoming fuel-logged when used as floats for carbs and senders on old car stuff, but never heard of cork being incompatible with fuel, or unsuitable when used as gaskets.

Guess I missed a service bulletin somewhere, or something... what makes cork and LL100 not go together? Got me curious!

Not all cork is sealled.All I say is try it. :lol: :lol:
