Re: [DML] Should something else be included in the Major service kit

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

Copper washers either seal.... or they don't. I've re-used washers on my 
metering head countless times when I didn't have a supply of new ones 
and they're still fine. A quick check to see if there are any leaks 
usually yields one or two that need a tweak, but I've never had one 
spring a leak after it's evidently sealed. With new ones you also have 
to go through the process of crushing them all over again, and that can 
be hard enough that you break a bolt.

Did you ask DMCH to throw a couple of washers in for you?

The fuel filter should have a 90 degree elbow at the base and therefore 
needs two washers at the top only.
