Application
This gasket is used on vehicles with 5-bolt fuel gauge sending unit: Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945), CJ-2A (1946-1949), CJ-3A (1949-1953), early CJ-3B (1953-approx.1956 with 5-hole unit), and M38/M38A1 with individual gauges. Note: later CJ-3B and CJ-5 models sometimes used a 6-hole version.
Installation notes
Remove the old gasket completely and clean the contact surfaces on tank and sending unit thoroughly. Place the new gasket dry (without adhesive) on the tank. Secure the sending unit with the 5 mounting bolts in a cross pattern with uniform tightening sequence to prevent distortion. Do not overtighten — cork compresses and excessive force may damage the gasket.
Compatibility
Use this 5-hole gasket ONLY on vehicles with a 5-bolt sending unit. Check your original unit: early CJ models and military jeeps used 5 holes as standard, but some later civilian models (late CJ-3B, CJ-5) received a 6-hole system. If in doubt: count the mounting holes on your tank.
Historical context
The 5-hole fuel gauge sending unit was standard on all WWII Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps (1941-1945) and remained in service on post-war civilian CJ models and military M38/M38A1 until the mid-1950s. The fuel-resistant cork/nitrile compound guarantees durable sealing under all conditions.
