The hose barb is seized onto the flange and gasket is dry rotted. Getting a little leakage around the fitting and fume build up in the cab of the boat is enough to cause a headache. Don't have the dimensions, but if anyone has a link to find these parts I'd appreciate it. I can search out the right size. Boat shops I've talked to on the phone haven't been able to help much. Also - worst case I'd just slap all this back together with some sealant. What's the best fuel gasket sealant? Was looking at Permatex products. Any help appreciated Needed pieces - gasket and hose barb Vent hose connection on poly tank.

BUT...the barb is seized into the flange fitting, and is not coming out without it breaking, trust me...I tried with a vice and a cheater bar on a pipe wrench. Problem is the 4th bolt hole is right under the barb with not enough clearance for anything but a tiny pair of needle nosed pliers. Was a real pain to even get off, let alone retightened. Might have to get creative and fab up a wrench out of a piece of flat bar.

Inland Marine in Nampa is good for repairs and parts like that. Good grief caldwellite. What are you doing proposing a simple common sense solution like that??? I was hoping this would grow into something that would justify needing to buy a spoolgun. I'll look up Inland Marine. Sent a bunch of pics to various marine places today, we'll see if I get any replies. Darned thing came from somewhere. Appreciate the input.

Put the barb part in a vise, hit it with fire, grab a pare of channel locks and unscrew it..... Why make these things difficult? Last edited by Finster; 10/15/18 10:27 PM.
