Poppy510 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hello, in working on the Stewart tank on my 29 Dodge, I managed to dislodge the small orifice at the bottom of the inner tank that the needle slides through. It appears too have a sealing washer that provides the fit around the needle. I think the little tabs lock it to the webs at the bottom of the tank. Can anyone confirm? Also, should the needle be a relatively close fit in the washer? This one is sloppy. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy510 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 So I am thinking that this is just a guide for the float pin...not an orifice. So my only question remaining is how to attach it to the bottom of the can...one of the tabs is gone. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poppy510 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hi Ron, I am in California. My thought is that I will try to get this thing re-attached. If I am not successful I may take you up on that offer. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory they are soldered in place but you may be able to glue it with some fuel resistant epoxy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattml430 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I just had a look at mine and it looks like there is 4 little tabs that fold over it underneath. this is the best pick I could get. I would also try soldering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poppy510 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone. Well, the JB weld inner tank seal only lasted a little over a year. Does anyone have a Stewart model 216-A inner and outer tank? My top, mechanism, flap etc are all in good condition. Thank you!
