Also I have never had a flex line not seat in the pump. All this is news to me. 37RAGTOPMAN 04-18-2010 @ 11:56 AM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 1965 Joined: Oct 2009 Jerry G all I know, these cured my problems of hard starting,after sitting, I bought the line and the washers and installed at one time, I urge you to check the web site out, it might be interesting, there is a part that describes this air leakage problem, my 3 cents worth,,,37RAGTOPMAN, This message was edited by 37RAGTOPMAN on 4-18-10 @ 11:58 AM TomO 04-19-2010 @ 7:09 AM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 7257 Joined: Oct 2009 37ragtopman, please indicate the paragraph that mentions these washers. I have read the information a couple of times and could not find the referance. Tom 37 Coupe 04-19-2010 @ 7:52 AM reply profile send p.m. Member Posts: 362 Joined: Oct 2009 Same here ,I don't see any mention or description of these washers. TomO you mentioned that the new rubber material for bowl gasket is superior to cork or the failure in mine was because of age,this occured on new within 6 months of Napa bought pumps which are made in the USA and manufactured by Airtex. Same as you assumed since they were recent they would be compatible with ethanol,pumps still seem okay so diaprhagm must be okay,,,but developed leakage with bowl rubber gasket,changed to rubber/cork gasket to seal. The original rubber softened and swelled to a bigger diameter and thickness which you would think would seal better,but turned to mush. My experience anyway and most all info I have received from couple fuel pump rebuilders on Fordbarn say to remove and replace with the cork/rubber right out of the box. 37RAGTOPMAN 04-19-2010 @ 4:37 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 1965 Joined: Oct 2009 TOMO you have to call them,it is not described on the web site,but does mention the fit between the fitting being a problem, also ROBERT SHERMAN that makes the new fuel lines mentions this in his ad, in the V8 TIMES, as follows CHECK VALVE in pump fitting stops fuel drain back and make easier starting, PAGE 18 VOLUME 47 JAN FEB 2010 believe me,,, I bought them and had no problems since, hope this helps,37RAGTOPMAN they are about $2.00 each, a cheap price to pay so you do not have to pour raw gas in you engine trying to start in RISKING A FIRE!! plus more, fouled spark plugs, aand they are not cheap,
