Hi all,

Question 1, does the fibre washer go on the inside or outside of the outlet pipe.

Question 2, can you buy the fibre washer separately? Have lost mine from the new outlet I bought :(

Thanks in advance for the expert opinions,

Jim
All the best,

Washer goes on the inside against the tank and the outlet pipe as far as I remember
I'm in my buggy,
It's raining,
I really don't care.

I wasn't sure of this when I did my new tank but was pretty sure it was between the tank and the outlet pipe, but just to be on the safe side I got a 2nd washer and put one either side...... so far so good no leaks :o ;-)up

Between the tank and the outlet

I fitted it the wrong way once and when I tightened the nut it ripped the washer - of course I didn't notice until I filled the tank and then went camping with minimal tools   ;D




mmmmm - where's that smell of petrol coming from????

Oh for %*@# sake....
