Why do manufacturers put the rubber gaskets in the sediment bowls if they all leak? I have never bought one that didn't require to replace it with a cork gasket. What's the deal? Why put one in there at all if it's just gonna leak?

That's odd my b and c both would not seal with cork but rubber baskets from rural king and no more leaks

There are 3 ways to do job GOOD, FAST, CHEAP. YOU MAY CHOOSE 2. If its FAST & CHEAP it won't be GOOD, if it's GOOD & CHEAP it won't be FAST, and if its GOOD & FAST it won't be CHEAP!!!!

trick with the rubber gaskets is set them when it's warm outside then they get a grove seal. it it's cold out, they will leak, and them all you can do is replace with a cork one. also check the top of the glass bowl, if it's a wide rim, that's the best, some will have a narrow rim and they usually always leak.

All I know is for what they cost you'd think the seal would be more reliable.

Does away with a lot of problems to do away with the sediment bowl and put in an inline
cut off and an inline filter. |

All our tractors came with cork gaskets.
I found that if I gave the bowl a little twist just at it was getting tight it would not leak. Dusty

I had to replace the cork gasket in my D-17. The old gasket was very old and earned its retirement. lol
Made my own gasket from a sheet of gasket cork. Very easy make. Place the bowl over the sheet and cut with an razor knife. Measure to find the exact center. Measure the width of the old gasket. Transfer this measurement to the new gasket and cut out the center. Test fit. Now you have a new gasket. Does not take 5 minutes. Saves a trip to town. Another project you can brag about to your friends.

It's been my experience that leaky bowls are the result of a warped base assembly. Over tightening especially with the cork gaskets will distort the base. At that point rubber gaskets don't have enough give to seal. Set the bowl to the base without the gasket and check to see if it rocks back and forth. If it does, the solution is either replace the assembly or straighten the base.

Kent, I believe you have a good diagnosis there. Next time I have a leaker I will check to see if it is warped. Thanks!

The problem with the in line filter is that the ones most easily found are made for systems with a fuel pump and they restrict the flow with only gravity feed. Gravity feed in line filters do exist but are hard to find.

I use the cheap see through plastic in-line filters and never had a flow problem
with gravity flow system. Bill B

Most of those cheap plastic filters are for lawn mowers. No fuel pump there.

I don't use those little button size lawn mower filters,I use a regular filter that's clear so I can see what is in the filter probably have them on 8 or 10 tractors.The only time I have flow problems is if its full of rust or water has gotten into the filter and that will make a filter swell up and gas won't go thru it otherwise the filters work just fine. |
