Curtis quick drain
I heard that some idiot installed a seal incorrectly and drained all the
fuel out of his tank so Curtis doesn't want the
liability so they don't sell replacement parts.

Mine started leaking after 20 years of service, not a bad service life for
something that I can replace for less than $10 at aircraft Spruce, or $14
from Sacramento Sky ranch. But since it is brass and looks to be in great
shape, I would just like to replace it's rubber seal. I thought it was an
o-ring, but it is a tiny rubber washer. I found what I thought was the
perfect replacement from Mc Master Carr, had to order 100 of them. Sadly
they do not fit. I asked the FBO guys next door and they said they used
to be able to order the seals but they can't get them any more. BTW the
new valve that I ordered from Spruce will be here next week.
Does anyone know of a source of just the seals?
Thanks for any info or suggestions.
