Petrol tap gaskets

[callyboy]

Have to swap over my petrol tap onto another tank and was wondering if there is a cheaper way to do the gaskets than the £15 odd quid the kits seem to cost. Not a huge amount, but its all adding up is there a petrol friendly liquid gasket ?

Cheers

Be gentle and you wont need gaskets.

Watcha Paul.The small ones that were on the two bolt holes just fell apart. The large one that runs round the outside looks ok. albeit a bit flat and hard( as opposed to rounded and soft !!!).

Pete and gentle in the same sentence! Thats a new un!

Drop me a PM with your address and I will send you some dowty seals for the 2 bolts.

Try boiling the larger main tap seal in Boiling water to make it more supple!

Oh and Dont use gasket sealant m8!

Not quite the same as mine. Mine dont have the cross connection bits. just straight seal all way around.

green hermetite, seals petrol taps and doesnt get disolved. just let it dry before filling the tank ive used it on tank seals and also carb float bowl rubbers.

Watcha John, cheers for that info mate. I have bought some Loctite lock and seal for the bolt threads(couple of quid). Some dowty are being sent from bobster (unless he's forgot !!) . Will get some of that green hermetite as well.

Cheers

Seals are in the post m8....i couldnt find any 6mm ones so have put 1/4" ones in the package..........they are slightly bigger but should still do the job!
