Gasket material for fuel sending unit
New float should arrive today. Now I realize the gasket is in bad shape. What would be the best material to make one out of? How thick?

Re: Gasket material for fuel sending unit
Just had mine out to do some tank work. It's a rather thick O-ring, I'd guess about 1/4" dia. from memory, and quite spongy, with a tab to align it to the opening. I'm not certain how critical it is to duplicate it exactly, but based on my limited experience I'd suggest trying to get the O-ring from the parts store. Its not the type of thing that readily accessible if you find out later on that you should have used something else.

Re: Gasket material for fuel sending unit
For example, here's the lockring with gasket (black ring) from Summit. You might find the gasket on its own locally. Good luck.
