For those who have never disassembled a 2 line fuel connector, this is for you. Inserting an "O" rings using a dental p*k is not a restoration, it is a disaster waiting to happen.
By the way, the light minty connector came original on the early tall boy tanks.

It bothers me to see this on eBay. Take a look at the brass inserts on the connector. They have been severely damaged by using?? to remove the old "O" rings. The left insert is not seated properly. I wonder what the springs look like?

I'm selling some of my gas tank coolers at a good price. Also listed is a dandy 4 gallon Johnson- Evinrude gas tank that is super clean inside and ready to use. The tank came with a motor I purchased. I will install new "O" rings in the fuel connector before I ship.
The coolers are powdercoated, which also includes the aluminum insert. The cooler is insulated and holds 16-18 cans of gusto, plus ice. I have a number of red and also a few black coolers that have no decals. I also have an Oliver and a International- Farmall. With the red coolers, any year decal can be applied. $275.00 for the tank and cooler and the price includes shipping

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends around the country. 65 years ago I spent Thanksgiving at the Unitd States Army Security Agency Training Center at Ft. Devens , Massachusetts.
64 years ago I was at Clark Air Force Base with the 9th USASA Field Station in the Philippines.
Let us be thankful!
