31 model a gas sediment bowl?
Anyone have a diagram on how the insides of the bowl goes? I’ve tried a rubber and/or cork gasket first, then the filter with spring and the just tried a rubber gasket and screen but every time I tighten it up it leaks. A couple times I tightened it up to much and it quit leaked but the gas quit coming out but I could loosen it and it ran but leaked. Confused 🤷www.jalopyjournal.net♂️

Which bowl do you have, 3 choices, there is one with glass bowl, one with all cast iron, both of these on the firewall, and in late 31 one on the carb ----

Try putting it on loosely and spin/turn the bowl as you do, open the petcock and spin the bowl while tightening it as it fills.

Re: 31 model a gas sediment bowl?
I agree with Ernie in post number 5 . The gas cap probably isn't venting . As for the leak ,The thick paper gasket always worked best for me with the glass bowl . Besides the look , the cast iron bulb is my favorite because it uses a lead gasket that works well and doesn't need replacement as often .
