xj598 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 ..for petcock to tank seal on 1980s XJ series (550/650 etc). Anyone know ? Quicker/easier (and cheaper) than buying an oEM I would hope. Viton better than Nitrile ? Cheers J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted December 12, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 12, 2015 Try 18 quid for the tank o ring on my TDR, comes as part of the "complete tank assembly" now discontinued. Had to find out size and material which is a quirky one as it has to be oil AND petrol resistant, most are 1 or the other. Had to buy a tenner's worth to get minimum order and then vat and del on top. And no before you say it, it isn't listed on the parts list, its in my parts book but the number has been deleted, unfortunately, not superseded or updated, even fowlers drew a blank. It seals the oil tank outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
