<div>Don, </div>
<div>You appear to be correct. </div>
<div>However, I am home now & am able to do some more research. I think I was confusing information about banjo fittings on <b>new</b> SU fuel pumps. See attached article by Dave DuBois. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, I stand by my statement that "<span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial; font-size: 13.33px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">If you have the correct gaskets & it is still leaking, something else is the reason". I do not believe sealant is required for this application. </span></div>

<div><span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial; font-size: 13.33px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">The banjo fitting has one side that has a recess machined into the surface that mates with the head of the banjo bolt. The ID of the recess measures .882" +/-. </span></div>
<div><span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial; font-size: 13.33px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">I have 4 gaskets (#12-1829 from Victoria British) that measure .891" +/- OD. They will not fit into the recess. If they were jammed into the recess by trying to tighten the bolt, they might not be sealing correctly. I also have one gasket that measures .870" +/- OD & it fits nicely into the recess. I do not know where I got it but it has part number AUC2141 on the bag. </span></div>

<div>Gary , I’ve never seen to use 2 different fiber gaskets on the banjo unions . Every parts breakdowns I have , and I have a lot only show the same fiber gaskets on either side of the banjo union . On the float chamber lid there is an aluminum top washer and a fiber washer on the bottom of the cap bolt . Maybe that’s what your referring to .

<div dir="ltr">I’m working on a BJ-8 right now and I’m having a hard time stopping very slight fuel leaking out of the two banjo unions between the carbs . And I installed new fiber washers . Would it be ok to try some gasket sealer on the fiber washers ? <br clear="none"> Don 67 BJ-8 <br clear="none"><br clear="none">
