Glass cylinder gascolator gaskets

Does anyone know where I can buy some gaskets for the old style glass cylinder type Tillotson gascolator? For once I can't find anything on LAS's website and am a bit stumped as to where to find them quickly.

regards

Colin

Square section "O" rings of the correct material for fuel should do the job. What diameter is the gasket.

the od of the glass is 1 7/8"

That's about the same size as the one on my old Fergie tractor - give me a while and I'll check.

I've just removed that gascolator and mine is a smidgin over 2" - sorry about that. It was a good exercise for me anyway as my glass was about a third full of black gunk. I will continue to look for square section "O" rings.

Bill,

have found a local gasket making company who will make up a batch of Nitrile or Viton washers to my dimensions. Sorry to have you dismantling your tractor!
