cork gasket - series 2a

[Gromit68]

Hi everyone

The cork gasket (about the size of a 50c piece) that seals my glass fuel bowl is letting air into my diesel. I can see bubbles blowing into the diesel when it's idling in the driveway.

What's this part called and where do I get a new one?

cheers,

If you get some Neoprene impregnated gasket material, you can make your own quite easily.

Especially if you were any good at Kindy with the plastic scissors & paste stuff.

Really, it is a doddle.

Alternatively, measure it and go see your local bearing supplier (or probably Repco etc). A synthetic rubber ring would work as well as the cork.

if its the one on the fuel pump its the fuel pump bowl gasket. just take the cork one to a decent seal place and they should be able to give you a new rubber one.

IF it looks a bit like a filter then its the sedimenter bowl and when you buy a service kit for it you should recieve a new seal.
