So, does anyone know the part number for gasket in the fuel selector valve in the wing?

I looked for the gasket in the fuel selector valve in the wing. You can see the gasket in the illustration, but there is no part number, so it must not be available separately. Notice that some of the other parts come only in an Airborne kit.

I see the same thing, why does Cessna do that. Has anyone ever rebuilt one of these selector valves with an airborne kit...and has the gasket part number handle?

The number is listed in the O-2 Illustrated Parts Manual, it is B3-12-1. I looks like it has six screw holes plus the large hole in the center.

Thanks, that's some good info. Why would the military get that kind of info but not the civilian? Now to find a supplier for it. The usual suppliers don't list it. Any ideas who might have them?

These are non-procurable parts. Cessna has no availability of these parts. They offer overhauled units for $2,861. If it was just the cork gasket I needed I went to the local auto parts store bought a roll of the fel-pro gasket material of the same thickness and proceeded to rely on my first grade arts and craft days to pattern and cut out new gaskets. I’ve seen other mechanics seal them with pro-seal or B2 but I was always leery about the sealant getting into the selector. I opted for making new gaskets.

Just to follow up this thread. How is the fel-pro gasket holding up? Any leaks yet or was it like fel-pro was made for 100LL?

Just replaced one of mine. Original was cork as was replacement. My old one had shrunk enough that the screws could be turned by hand. Only the safety wire was holding them in. The original gasket lasted 38 years.
