 Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2015 3:29 pm Post subject: Early Bay gas tank washer question |
 |
|
I am changing out the finger screen and fiber washer on my '71 Riviera fuel tank with a Wolfsburg West kit... Question is what order does the nut, nipple, finger screen and washer go in??? The old parts didn't have a washer.
The WW catalog diagram shows the washer for the beetle tank in two different locations, and doesn't illustrate it at all for a bus.

If the screen flange is aluminum it doesn't usually require a washer between it and the tank, if it's harder metal that won't squish to seal you'll need some sort of soft washer or O ring. The fiber or steel washer goes between the screen and the nut to act as a bearing surface.

x2
I have always removed them to find the sock has a aluminum ring/washer built into the sock itself

That's what I was thinking.. The screen sealing ring looks like an aluminum crush-type material. I ordered two washers in case I dorked one up on install.. But I was surprised to see they are a fiber washer. I hate fuel leaks and I'm really anal about em.. Esp on this application

Interesting, CIP1 calls for two washers, where the other diagrams call for either only one, or two different types.

#20 and #22 are two different gaskets. #22 has a smaller ID.
#22 does not appear to be available, at least I could not find it.
I would suspect that what you are going to receive in the kit is #20.
#20 has a type I part number and is still a available.
Good Luck
