Identify this Gascolator?

Sun Feb 16, 2014 4:58 pm

Hi, this is the unit. If there is a manufacturer's name it must be on the back. I'd like to order a replacement gasket for the next AI. Can anybody tell me what kind it is? I've got the part number, just not the maker.

Thanks,

Dave

Ya might want to do something about that 'neutral' safety wire job-unless the gasket is made of 'unobtainium' it's no big issue to craft a new one from a sheet of gasket paper with an XACTO knife, a ruler, and a pair of scissors.

For the bottom piece, held on with the wing nut, O-ring MS 28775-125 will work very well to seal it up.

MS28775 is for hydraulics, not fuel, use a MS29513 which is for fuel

Thanks, guys.

Yeah, the safety-wire has long-since been replaced. That's an old picture.

And it is the bottom section gasket that I was talking about, since that's the part that is removed to check the screen.
