SP101489 Gasket for fuel strainer on MEP-002 & 003 generators no longer available??
I went to my local Tractor supply and placed an order for the strainer gaskets. I was going to order a bunch of them for my spares set. I got a call from them saying that their supplier had run out and they were no longer available. I have searched for a few days now and can't find them anywhere. I even called Fram and they said they are out of production, but there is stock of them somewhere. I called Wal Mart and they say they can't order them. Auto parts stores I've called don't have them or can't get them.
I guess the best/most expensive option is to switch to the spin-on's.
Does anyone have a source for these?
I was thinking if there was still any demand for them that I could have them made at a custom gasket maker and make them available in the classifieds. I was able to use the gasket that came with one of my C1125PL Fuel filters as it's apparently the same gasket. It fit fine on the fuel strainer mount and sealed up fine. Now I have a fuel filter without a gasket though.
Any ideas?
