The Ford Barn

The fuel pump for my '34 Ford is leaking. I'm sure the gasket is the problem. The pump is an after market AC pump with the glass bowl.

I went back and read previous posts about fixing the problem and there are different opinions about what material is best to use especially with ethanol in the gasoline.

From previous posts I also found a company that sell the gasket for $1.25. That's cheap enough but the company has a order minimum of $25.

There must be a simpler solution than buying 18 gaskets. If I have to make my own I will but I'd prefer one already made.

All suggestions appreciated.
