You are correct there is a round gasket in the bottom of the consumption
tank. When I went through mine I got a new one from Doug.
I would reach out to Carl who has the parts business now. I am sure be has
one. If not you cut one from any suitable material for AV gas.
I put a photo of my old one as I removed it from the tank. You can
download it and blow it up to see the thickness. It is pretty thick.
