So I want to remove my 12v lp but don't know if I still have plate that the 24v used.

So what do you all use? Simple piece of metal with two holes in it?


Thanks!
 
You local parts store will most likely have one in stock. All the ones around here do. Mr. Gasket part# 1516. Even comes with a gasket

Go to whatever auto parts store is by you and get a BB Chevy mechanical fuel pump block off for $5. Same shape as yours.
 
Awesome! Thanks guys!


Advance has em for 6.99. Thanks for the part # Josh.

Chevy plate on my 12v. Thin gasket leaked. I used thick cork gasket to replace it and no issues to date.
 
rtv works too.

Thats what I was thinking. That's a really nice block off but for something you'll never see just silicone the damn thing. Mine have never leaked with the gaskets but if they did I would just use rtv. Or if you want to wait 24 hours, just use the grey international silicone like they use on DT oil pans. That will not leak. Just takes 24 hours to cure.

You can call an international dealor and say you want the grey silicone like for DT oil pans... Or I can try and find the official name for you tomorrow at work

Thanks. My cummins/international parts place is useless without a part# or the truck it goes on.
