moe1965 714 #1 Posted January 9, 2019 I have been working on a restoration of a 1964 854. The other day my fuel tank decided it wanted to leak. Anyone know where I can find a replacement gasket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,441 #2 Posted January 9, 2019 The 4452 gasket is no longer available from Toro. Click on the fuzzy picture for a 2-page service bulletin. I am sure in this day and age there is a sealer/caulking type of material that will work. Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,494 #3 Posted January 9, 2019 Check with @wheelhorseman. He sells nice new gaskets. Only drawback to replacement of the gasket is that you are almost certain to break off a bolt. Another option would be to seal the inside of the tank with a product like POR15’s fuel tank sealant. I’ve used it in old VW’s and it worked great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moe1965 714 #5 Posted January 9, 2019 I started making a gasket out of some Fel-Pro gasket material that I had I'm going to put a product called high-tech on both sides of the gasket that is saposed to be gas resistant and I think just because I've gone this far I have some extra red kote product that I used on a tank repair sometime ago and I think I'll put that in the tank as well just for added insurance 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,203 #6 Posted January 9, 2019 I've done several tanks with this: Two of the tanks were 854's including the one I picked up at last years big show. The stuff works great and is a permanent fix. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
