fuel tank gasket
chrisg - 7/5/09 at 08:19 PM

I need a gasket to seal my sender unit to my tank, 60 ish internal 80 ish external, any ideas?

Would ordinary rubber work, maybe something like tyre inner tube?

Any ideas greatfully received!

Cheers

Chris

You need 'Nebar' jointing. It's a cork type material. I can send you a bit if you can't get any locally.

Any engineering place should have some. We use it at work for making joints (gaskets to you heathens) on gearboxes and such stuff.
