Gas tank problem part 2

Unfortunately blogger was giving me a hard time when I tried to add more photos to my last post, So this is a continuation of the previous post.

When removing the valve, I realized
that there was a silicone gasket that I peeled off,
by accident. I went to advanced autoparts and bought
paper gasket material and cut it in this shape. It permits the
two fuel lines to poke through the gasket and go into the
tank. When the screws are tightened, the valve, is pressed
and sealed to the tank by the gasket.

I reassembled the valve and  removed the
fuel filter because they (both the reserve and
the main filter) because they were not
salvageable.









Here's the re assembled valve with the gasket!
