Competition Steel Bulkhead fittings/ stock fuel tank

[bgilbert]

The #10 steel bulkhead fittings I got from a local shop didn't come with any washers like I've seen in Summit and Jeg's catalogs. I've since been told I'm supposed to have washers between the bulkhead fitting and nut. Question, do I need to use some type of plastic or metal washer? One on each side of the fuel tank wall, inside and out? I did ask the shop and they said they didn't have anything that would fit. Where should I go to find what I need? Thanks.

they did not have the washers when I got mine either. I drilled the hole one size too small and threaded it in then nutted it on the back side. Been like that for over a year and have had no drips.

Alright I think I might have this part figured out. How about some type of suction filter/hydraulic filter/inline/screen attached to the -10AN pickup hose in the tank? Any ideas on what to use and where to get?
