Didn't I just see something about the fuel bole gasket? I tried a search but nothing came up. I was changing the filter and the rubber gasket is so swollen it will go back in. Yet Bratton's catalog says the neoprene gasket is better than the cork.

Mitch, I didn't use the screen, since Snyder's said not to. But it's thin enough, i think it could be used.
I know the screens are fine enough, not to let water pass. Similar to filling an outboard engine with a funnel with a screen.
I've used the filter you use with a screen, with success. But I was ordering a few parts from Snyder's, so I thought I would give theirs a try. One time I saw some water in the bottom of my bowl, so somehow it seems to work.

FWIW:
A. Ten (10+) years ago, rather than mess around with old, former possible J.C. Whitney, or Keystone Cops' supplied Model A glass bowl parts from years ago, I bought a whole "new" glass bowl assembly whereby below is one (1) detailed, specific 1930 Model A new sediment glass bulb, (bowl) "flawless" experience with "no"leaks during the past ten (10+) years:
1. Obtaining New Sediment Bulb: I bought a new Bratton's sediment bulb No. 12990; a new nut/lock washer No. 13010; a newsediment glass bulb No. 13020; and a new Bratton's sediment bulb screen, (brass), No. 13050, with accompanying neoprene gasket for my new glass sediment bowl.
2. Obtaining New Paper Filter for Filtering Micro Fuel Sand and Debris: I next bought about ten (10) NAPA paper bowl inserted fuel filters, "The Original Gold NAPA Filters, No. 3903", (Made in Mexico); however,only used two (2) in past ten (10+) years "after" thoroughly flushing my fuel tank with POR 15 Marine Clean, while using a small Amazon bought electric water circulating pump.
3. Fitting Bulb Parts: Above Bratton's parts fitted perfectly; however, some from others may or may not, so, if not,
a. Make sure neoprene gasket fits neatly in top metal bulb holder. If not, trim same.
b. Make sure glass bulb has a recess in top of glass bulb and both screen and top paper flange of paper filter fits "inside" the smaller diameter glass bowl recess. If screen or flange is of a larger diameter, and protrudes beyond this glass bowl recess, they must be trimmed with a scissors to a smaller diameter.
4. Fuel Bowl Assembly: Sequence:
a. After above metal part No.12990 is properly installed, into the bottom opening of metal part No. 12990, insert neoprene gasket.
b. While holding glass bowl with glass bowl opening facing upwards, insert No. 3039 paper filter in bowl with top paper flange neatly fitted in glass bowl recess; and, on top, insert brass screen on top of No.3039, again,neatly fitted in glass bowl recess.
c. While holding glass bowl, with glass bowl opening facing upwards, and with paper filter and brass screen installed on top, press this lower assembly against the upper installed neoprene gasket and tighten glass bowl assembly.
d. Of utmost importance: Upper metal in "direct" contact with neoprene gasket and lower glass bowl in "direct" contact with neoprene gasket.
B. Been using Model A glass bowls for the past (60) years with no leaks.
C. And FWIW: Remember: Most cooks cannot cook "fluffy" rice and wind up with a sloppy, sticky mess because the always follow instructions written on the package .............. just experiment now and then and try 1-3/4 cups of water and 2-1/4 cups of rice on a low fire.

When I change the filter in my sediment bowl, I simply remove it from the firewall, turn it upside down, everything falls into place easily and I can see how things assemble without standing on my head.You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!

Here is what we have , similar to what Mitch posted #4; the filters are inexpensive from on line auto parts vendors, and the gaskets which I believe are nitrile seem fine with the ethanol gas. The key is to get them aligned properly. The new filters replace the former ceramic types which are sometimes available on ebay, etc. No screen in this AC type.Attached FilesLast edited by plyfor; 01-31-2018, 12:08 PM.

by old31I have my Wix filter on the glass bowl, as shown in one of Mitch's photos resting in the depression. I have a screen on top of that, and a new cork gasket on top of the screen. It leaks.
The gasket is covering all of the holes around the filter. Should those holes be exposed? I am not sure if it makes a difference. I am guessing that the fuel enters through the center hole and goes out...-

by wrndlnI did a search to try to find out what waterpump gaskets that were originally used, but found nothing. I have had problems with searching, so maybe I missed it/them. Anyway, I am using a copper clad gasket for the water inlet to the engine, but all I have is a heavy paper gasket for the waterpump that came in the gasket kit. I don't know if the proper gasket has anything to do with the fan belt...

by BTERRY1I will be replacing the clamshell gasket around the CV to address a leak. Is the new cork gasket installed dry? What about the mating surfaces. Any sealer there? Thanks in advance....

by dmaxwebI forgot to include an oil pan gasket in my last vendor order. Shipping on just a gasket by itself is twice the cost of the gasket. Fel-Pro has a model A gasket, available at my local Autozone, for $8.59

by rheacoxAs some might know I have a head gasket job in my near future and up to this point have thought that the Best 573(C or G) was the optimal gasket for my Snyder 5.5 head.
However, I just saw this, https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/P...earchByKeyword on their site. The picture appears to have the BEST name stamped on the gasket but...-

by JohnB15632I am so disgusted, discouraged, and upset. Previously, I had the problem of my gas filter leaking. So, I purchase a new one. It came to day and I quickly installed it.
Wow, did the engine start great but guess what. The dxxm thing still leaks This time I believe it is between the inlet brass fitting and the filter top.
No matter. I quit. I closed the valve, and closed the hood....You do not have permission to view this gallery.

by dmdeatonI have read the sticky in the tech section over and over. I have an original glass sediment bowl and 2 filters from Red Quail. With the filter and gasket installed there is no way the wire bail will slip over the glass. What are you guys doing to run these?
I am not sure these are the Wix filters, as Red Quail has them in their own branded box. The upper gasket is made from light green fairly...-
