Does anyone have a suggestion of where to find a spring that will work on the latch for an OMC pressure tank fuel connector.
Connector seems to be in good shape but the spring is broken. Looks like a smaller clothes pin spring. I picked up a couple of
tanks recently and that seems to be the only problem other than fuel line being cracked both tanks are little dirty inside but no signs of
rust or corrosion. One of them even the paint is in good shape.
Thanks
Doug

never seen one of those springs break either, odd because the tank is in great shape otherwise. Could not pass up two
clean tanks for what I spent.

Several tanks used the same parts – why re-invent the wheel. . . 😉
