Subject: | Re: ACS Gascolator rubber seal. |
Red,
No rush. I will pick it up at Boo or Oshkosh if that's OK? I won't have gas in
my gascolator for a couple of years yet. 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

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.

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.
