El__burro:
Fine, the cup arrived, although I have a leak (i guess at the cup washer) my issue is another.
Oil level. (for which I started a new post)

Thanks
El__burro

El__burro:
Going back to the leaking fuel tap.
I've notice that the cup gasket has a tiny cut in it; although it has not split yet it does not serve its purpose.
I have an over spillage of fuel once the cup is full
I need to buy a new washer/gasket.
Can I use one for plumbing purposes or it has some particular properties or shape?

Thanks

Bet you wish you hadn't cancelled the order for the seal you accidentally ordered now!
I think the seal is just an O-ring but you need to make sure it is suitable for use with fuel, which 'standard' plumbing ones may not be.
I have a box of assorted O-rings which say they are suitable for use with fuel oils and petrol.
The inner thread diameter of the bowl of a spare tap I have is approx. 23mm, and I have found an O-ring that fits that.
The ones I have might be a bit thicker than the original but I think they should do the job.
If you PM me your address I'll send you one of these O-rings so you can try it.
If your thread diameter is different then let me know and I'll see if I have a suitable size

Chris400F:
PM received. O-ring is in the post.

El__burro:
Chris the o seal just arrived many thanks.
Unfortunately it's too small.
The inner diameter of the cup is approximately 26mm.
Shame i didn't measure it before you sent it.

I owe you one.
Thanks
El__burro
