- leads on fuel tank and pump cradle

Hi,

I'd like to out some feelers for an K series injection fuel tank, ideally new or an unused spare, and a K series fuel pump cradle.  Mine is leaking again from the pump gasket, and its been causing problems since around 2013.   I suspect I need a new tank, but until its all apart and I can see what happening I wont be sure.  

Thanks 
Tom

Hi 7 wonders, that's a possibility. I'm on my 2nd James Whiting gasket m, which I suspect has failed. The first one dissolved & I suspect it's happened again, but I won't know until it's stripped. I don't think they like modern fuels. i made a template of the JE gasket before I fitted it so I can in theory make a new one. 

do you know what type of material I need to be resistant to modern fuels? Assuming it's 3mm tough rubber, would making it with a Stanley knife and tin snips to cut be viable? 

Viton rubber from this seller on eBay?https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223463234791
