Fuel Filler Point Leak

[ayjay]

I think you are spot on there robo. Ive got similar stuff on my pond pump and filters and its a pig to stop leaking without almost cracking jubilee clips by overtightening

So would you guy say this would do the trick or do I need something thinner/thicker?

The ebay product seems to be regular rubber. Be careful with non fuel-resistant rubber, it will melt with the fuel. This rubber is OK for water, but I don't think it is suitable for fuel. It has to be Nitrile or other fuel compatible rubber kind (but Nitrile is the most common).
Hope this will help.

Ah cool good to know! So what kind of thickness will be enough. 1, 1.5, 3mm?
