If you do a search on the forum under pressure tank there is a step by step rebuild thread. After reading it I know I did mine wrong but at least I know what to do now!

Put them on dry.

I completely rebuilt mine, bead blasted everything, repainted, new seal kit, installed them dry, and have had no problems, but I didn't repaint the top cap bolts, and a couple of them are showing a little rust, so I may clean them up and put a coat of paint on them, still need to apply decals, but haven't gotten that far yet.

so I'd say, put the gaskets in it dry.

Hello...Just bought an old Richardson wood boat. It came with an old (1950-60 ?) Johnson outbrd 5.5 Also came with a 6 Gal. "pressurized" Johnson Milemaster Fuel Tank. I understand they do not make this type tank anymore but how about a "Kit" to rebuild the tank ? Thanks 215-375-5752
