Great write up Bosko! Thanks

please count me in Thank you

2pbfeet, that's my thinking too about those two gaskets, I have a green viton o-ring that I am using and it seems to work fine, I'll give it some run time and check it to see if it's holding up to the fuel. I checked the website for everything truck parts and they have the gasket set for $ 4.77...

I had my fuel gauge stuck on empty as well, I removed the gauge and check the connections those were good, I loosened the nuts on the gauge and tapped it in my hand and came unstuck off empty. I replaced the fuel sender with a Wema 8.5" and that length is just right, i believe if it was any...

Just a little follow up, I can not find those fuel filter gaskets anywhere (Wix 15398 gasket kit) , the parts house don't cross reference them and nobody can order them. I would like to change my reused one on the filter that I have but I guess that will have to wait till the next filter...

Uniquify, that is exactly what I needed, thanks for the info! I purchased the dash 202 washers for the bottom of the fuel bowl and it seals well, so if anybody needs some I have plenty (came in a pack of 100). I'll get these ordered, I operate off of 2 is 1 and 1 is none.

Trying to order the correct size fittings, just don't know the size!

Getting ready to plumb a 8135 pump and I need to know the size of both ends a the G-17 filter to connect it to the pump. I don't do this type of plumbing with NPT, Jic, and NPSF fittings often so I have a learning curve. Also will teflon tape be good for diesel fuel? Thanks

2Pbfeet, That's a great idea! I'm going to pull it out and do that, probably the best and fastest way to get it done right!

The thick wide inner gasket/washer between the filter and the housing is the one I need, it didn't come with the the Wix filter I used. I've been looking for the thick washer but no luck, I may have to pull the used one out of my housing to measure it to see what I can come up with. It looks...

It seemed like it was a flat washer but I'll get some of those Dash o-rings for the next filter change. For the filter bowl I checked for a manufacturer stamp but couldn't find one so now I'm stuck on that bushing.

Does anybody have a source for the canister fuel filter gaskets? Changed the canister gasket and the Wix filter only came with the top outer bowl gasket, I reused the gasket for the top of the filter. Also is there a gasket for the bottom of the fuel bowl where the bolt goes through.

Light in the Dark, thanks for the quick reply! I'm going to check those out today!

After following so many of these old threads, currently what is the pump to replace the round body E1074 pump and any fittings if needed? Thx

Thanks Ray70, I left that spacer on so if it distorts in the future I should be good!
