Old Kiekhaefer Gas Tank parts

[keviwe]

I have the vintage square-ish Kiekhaefer 6 gallon gas tank with the square base female tank mounted hose barb fitting with fuel gauge. I know the tank hose fitting base is obsolete. I think the rubber seal inside the female fitting could be leaking air, since my engine sometimes looses prime. (I have checked everything else for an air leak). Can you direct me to anyone who might has a NOS fitting or if the internal rubber seal can be replaced? Please also send me the obsolete tank fitting part number so I can also search. Thank YOU!

No none of those parts are available any longer, may have to buy a new gas tank and fitting.

New gas tanks are not the same dimensions and will not fit.
