(The one that seals the base from the main cylinder?) It is about 1.25" in diameter with about a 3/4" hole in the middle....maybe 2-3mm thick. I don't see any in a fuel resistant material through local aviation sources. Thanks.

Martino inferiore 133/7 I - 10131 Torino ITALY Registered: Oct 2006 Status: Offline Posts: 294	Posted Monday, January 25, 2010 @ 02:18 PM I ordered a batch of these gasket in fuel resistant rubber. I checked two samples of that rubber for 3 months submerged in mogas and avgas and found no problems. They will be available for the end of February. The exact measure is 38.5 mm outside, 25 mm inside 2.5 mm thick. I will send some to Collin for the US owners. Eugenio

Thank you. Yours, Bob
