tempo plastic tanks

[joho09]

I have two plastic tempo tanks that seep fuel around the top plate that holds the gauge and outlet. Anyone know where to get the gaskets for these tanks?<br />Thanks

I'm not much hep....dont really know where to find them. I bet though that if you cant find them, you could always make your own.

Auto stores (NAPA, Car Quest, etc) have gasket material. Take it apart carefully and cut a new gasket. Use gasket material that is not affected by fuel.

How about the round rubber "gaskets" that are inside the filler caps on the older OMC metal tanks?<br /><br />Anyone sell those?<br /><br />Thanks for reading, Chuck

Re: tempo plastic tanks

I went to Tempo's website and Emailed them the same, exactly the same, problem, plus the plastic window for viewing the guage needle was so fogged as to be unusable.<br /><br />They sent me new gaskets and a new "window". . . .free. It's been a few years but they may still have the same policy.<br /><br />Good luck.

Re: tempo plastic tanks

I went to Tempo's site, asked my question. Response was that West Marine handles old fuel tank parts,gave me a part #. Went to West marine, "withdraw assenbly" was $24.+-, gasket was $10,+-. Made my own gasket,$1.+-.<br />John

Re: tempo plastic tanks

I had the same issue with a tempo 12 gallon gas tank, the rubber seal failed and leaked all over the place and I sent them a e-mail and they promptly sent me a new gasket at no charge ... I'll buy their products anytime, with that kinda of customer service ... hard to find that kinda service now-a-days1

Re: tempo plastic tanks

I may have the same problem but again maybe not. When I squees the primer bulb I hear air. Don't know if its the gas line or the the seal on the tank. What I do know, I am sucking enough air to stall the motor. Should I buy a new fuel line or fuel line connector or gasket kit(make my own). Sorry for the intrusion on your subject.

-ttp<br />You might want to post this in a new thread. It will get more hits and advice that way. <br /><br />Inspect your primer bulb for cracks. Then inspect all fuel line and fuel line connections for leaks both fuel and air.
