spitznoz Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hello I need to make a gasket for my fuel rail and fuel in hose i currently have a rubber made 1 using the tire interior of my bike but im afraid the fuel will eat up the rubber and plug up my injectors. What kind of material can i use to make a gasket that wont be eaten up by fuel? something i can cut up easily with scissors. my rubber gasket is working perfect right now just wondering. P.s this is for my truck i had a small indentation on the fuel rail witch was leaking gas i removed the rail sanded it down so the indentation was clear but its now un even and instead of leaking gas now squirting lol , crazy every part of the intake/exhaust system is labeled mikuni is my truck special? woops i think i should be on the general technical area please move if necessary Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 You can actually get a few different thickness of "Gasket paper" from almost any auto parts store. Then just make a paper template, transfer it to the gasket paper. Done. it won't eat thru the gasket paper... And don't use any RTV.... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Holy shit. Rubber will dissolve quick. Neprene maybe. Viton for sure. You may be able to get away with a proper size O ring. Quote Link to comment

RedBanner Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Blue painters tape makes an awsome templete, put 2 or 3 layers on and razor out the unwanted spots, peel it off and stick it to the gasket meterial, wich napa carries. Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Good job man! Have to do this on some gaskets, as they don't sell them separate, just in the mega gasket kits... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Want professional bolt holes in gasket?? Forget the carpet knife and scissors. Get a round for curves and square or diamond for straight line. Find them at dollar stores. . Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Just cut out the bad section and use a piece of fuel line hose and a pair of clamps. 1 Quote Link to comment
