Crush washer
Fellas,
I have a slow fuel leak at the bottom of my left tank where it connects to the brass fuel line. I was told I need replace the two crush washers under there. Any one know what size they are? JP doesn't have them, so I was thinking of picking up at a hardware store that has pretty much any nut, bolt, screw, and washer imaginable. If y'all don't know, I'll take it apart and bring one with me. I thought I would try to pick it up while I was out and about today. Have a good one and ride safe!!

I haven't a clue as to what size you need, but only want to make a comment about a crush-washer. It's called a crush-washer, because as you tighten the connection (as on a brake line banjo).....the washer is soft enough to deform to any irregularities. It's usually copper, aluminum, or some combination of an alloy. If you pick-up a steel washer....I doubt it will work.

Thanks,
I was planning on looking for a copper washer today, but I'll just order the 27376-28 from JP. Is this the one you're talking about??

Yup, that's it. been using those on my 65 tanks for seems like forever now. Keep a few extra around because they are cheap insurance. They do not work twice (tried to reuse them, not a good idea because the 'crush' is already gone)
