question about fuel petcocks

[Tom Cutter]

FYI I have about a dozen of those screens in stock. The aluminum gasket is part of the screen, and it is retrofittable to earlier petcocks, eliminating the red fiber washer gasket, and keeping abrasive hunks of rust out of the petcock, which makes the rubber seal in the petcocks last much longer.

>>> I looked at a parts fiche from Max's and did not see a crush washer so i am guessing the filter screen and its associated base ring must me the crush washer or whatever forms a seal to keep the gas from dripping out.
