| Subject: | Re: ACS Gascolator rubber seal. |
Eric,
One has been in 100LL for 5 days now, neither the gasket nor the
gasoline appear to be changed in any way, so far.
Want me to send you one to try?
On another note, 31 May is the last day to register for the 2007
Airventure Cup race.

What is a source for the rubberized cork ones? Thanks, Eric

They are also the same as for flathead Ford fuel pump sediment
bowls, and are usually rubberized cork and last longer than plain cork
and don't squirm as much as the rubber.

Those cork gaskets are available at Tractor or Farm Supply Stores.

I just
returned from the Hangar to find a huge stain under the cowling
and
tailwheel. I had dismanteled and checked the filter screens in the
gascolator the week before, re assembled them CHECKED for leaks
did not see
any and went home. My hangar buddy called me a couple days later
to tell me
about a stain on the floor. Turns out I spilled 28 galls of fuel
through the
rubber seal in the gascolator. It was a hot day here in So Cal
when I
checked the screens and re assembled them, I have a feeling that's
why it
did not leak there was just enough expansion in the rubber and
aluminum to
make the seal. When it all cooled down and shrank it started to
leak. when
I checked the rubber seal it has tiny crackes around the periphery
also. So
this needs replacing 1 per year it seems.
