According to my local dealer, the rubber "gasket" that fits between the fuel head and the fuel heater is not available as a separate part. Has anybody found a suitable replacement for this gasket? If so, plz provide a manufacturer and part # if possible.

Thanks,

Steve

Don't know how intricate the fuel head gasket is, but I've made tail light gaskets using thin rubber sheeting from True Value Hardware (think bicycle tire thin). Traced the pattern onto it using a pen, and then cut it out with an exacto knife. Beautimus...

If you can't find a commercial alternative.

This gasket is basically a square "o-ring", so it can't easily be cut it out of a sheet of rubber (in addition, I don't know what kind of rubber would be diesel fuel-resistant). Would appreciate hearing from anybody who has been able to source one of these.

Take the gasket to an auto parts store and see if you can match it up with one from an oil filter, they use the same style and will stand up to the diesel.

ps, if you find one that fits post the filter#

The Wix website also gives gasket specs. on the filter lookup tab. (I.D. O.D. and thickness)

I actually purchased a mixed bag of gaskets for oil "filters and drain plugs." One of them actually fit. The one for the oil drain plug which is why I purchased it did not fit as well but they both worked fine.

I ordered two o-rings (type 332SQ, model # SN70332) from theoringstore.com and cut one to fit. It only took slight trimming to fit perfectly.
