jeremi3210 742 #2 Posted December 8, 2014 Napa sells new fuel tank bushings. If yours is not damaged or really hard maybe you could reinstall it. You will have to pull out the fuel valve put the bushing in the tank, then push in the fuel valve. Some silicone spray will make things go easier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wheel-mule 46 #5 Posted December 8, 2014 I sell these bushings for $3.plus $1 shipping .I've never had any luck reusing them with out them leaking.There is a little secret to installing them.Coat the out side with a good lube spray or vasaline,start it in to the tank,about 1/4 the way.Than coat the fitting the same way start it into the bushing about the same 1/4 of the way.Than push the bushing in all the way than the fitting all the way.If you install the bushing all the way before starting the fitting you will never get the fitting in as the hole in the tank is a press fit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmusket 0 #7 Posted February 7, 2015 I have a WH 310-8 and the fuel valve is leaking. When I searched them on line, there appears to be different size valves and bushings. Does anyone know what size my WH takes? Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill Looking at the ipl's for the 1985 and 1993 310-8 it should be 104047. If you click on the link it shows the dimensions. Do you know how to find your illustrated parts list?.

tunahead72 2,551 #9 Posted February 8, 2015 Good advice here, thanks to everybody who's contributed. Tommy and Bill, you might also consider replacing the fuel line at this point, as long as you have everything apart. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lagersolut 743 #10 Posted February 8, 2015 Time for a new shut off valve and bushing - although your shut off valve is still " working " it's missing the fine mesh screen on the pick up end . like others said I'd spend a few dollars on new line and a filter too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lagersolut 743 #11 Posted February 8, 2015 New one with the screen intact . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
