FAQs

How many gaskets are included in this product?

This product comes as a pack of 10 Febi Bilstein Fuel Pump Gaskets.

What are the exact dimensions of the gasket?

The gasket has an inner diameter of 31mm, an outer diameter of 35mm, and a thickness of 2mm.

Is this gasket suitable for all Febi Bilstein fuel pumps?

No, compatibility must be verified for your specific vehicle model and fuel pump assembly. Always check the part number and dimensions against your vehicle's requirements.

What is the primary function of this gasket?

Its primary function is to create a seal between the fuel pump and the fuel tank or mounting surface, preventing fuel leaks and vapor escape.

How should I store these gaskets when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and chemicals, to preserve their material integrity.

What is the weight of a single gasket?

A single gasket weighs approximately 0.0008 kg.

Can I reuse an old fuel pump gasket?

It is strongly recommended not to reuse an old fuel pump gasket. Gaskets are designed for single use and can become compressed or damaged, leading to leaks. Always use a new gasket for optimal sealing.

Troubleshooting

Fuel leak detected after installation.

Double-check that the gasket was installed correctly, with no twists or folds. Ensure all mounting bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque and that the mating surfaces were perfectly clean before installation. Verify that this is the correct gasket for the application.

Gasket appears too loose or too tight.

Confirm that the correct part number (172666) has been used for the specific vehicle and fuel pump model. Minor discrepancies in fit might indicate an incorrect part was selected. Refer to vehicle-specific documentation.

Difficulty in seating the gasket.

Ensure the mounting surfaces are clean and free of any debris. A slightly flexible gasket can sometimes be gently coaxed into place. If the gasket is too rigid or damaged, it may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Verify Compatibility: Before installation, carefully check the part number and dimensions against your vehicle's service manual or the existing gasket to ensure it matches your specific fuel pump and vehicle model.
  2. Clean Surfaces: Ensure both the fuel pump housing and the mounting surface on the vehicle are clean, dry, and free from debris, old gasket material, or corrosion.
  3. Position Gasket: Carefully place the Febi Bilstein gasket onto the fuel pump or the mounting surface as per the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Ensure it sits flush and is not twisted.
  4. Install Fuel Pump: Reinstall the fuel pump assembly, tightening the mounting bolts evenly and to the manufacturer's specified torque to ensure a uniform seal.

Compatibility:

  • Always consult your vehicle's parts catalog or a qualified mechanic to confirm that part number 172666 is the correct gasket for your make, model, and year of vehicle, and for the specific fuel pump being installed.
  • Pay close attention to the provided dimensions (Inner Diameter: 31mm, Outer Diameter: 35mm, Thickness: 2mm) and compare them with your requirements.

Care:

  • Store gaskets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals to maintain their material integrity.
  • Avoid stretching or deforming the gasket during handling or installation, as this can compromise its sealing capabilities.
