Re: Seeping Fuel Quantity
I think it's Spruce Part# 15-4 (MFR Model# 0015-00004). I've got one "somewhere" & will look to see when I get back into the hangar. You can give the folks @ Spruce a call & they'll know -- it's a Rochester part. Mac

This is the one, from the ACS Canada site, but the same part number that Mac said.

Re: Seeping Fuel Quantity
PN 15-4 was what I used from Aircraft Spruce. Here is also a PDF I found for the newer gauges.

Re: Seeping Fuel Quantity
Good deal. ...and, just to emphasize David's admonition not to over-torque the screws when re-installing with the new gasket. There are a number around (Ebay, fly markets) that have been hunkered down to the point of cracking, some no doubt in attempt to stop leaks. Once cracked, the damage is "permanent". Mac
