What are the must replace seals for the glass bowel type fuel filter when replacing the cartridge? It appears there is a rubber gasket that fits into the top of the cartridge then the large top to glass housing cork gasket. Neither of these are available any longer from Nissan. Any other must replace parts? Mind you this is a filter housing that hasn't been R&R in over 40 garaged years. What are DIY'ers doing for these parts?

TIA

The rubber is likely fine. The cork gasket can be replaced with one from Tractor Supply or another tractor parts store.

Thanks for the reply. I have a Tractor Supply store not to far away in Norco CA. Any other part replacement suggestion once I dig into it?

I got this kit from DatsunParts last time I refreshed the fuel filter

Thanks, the description makes no mention of the spring shown in the photo, did in fact the kit come with one?

The spring comes with the filter.

Filter is still available from Nissan: -

I replaced the large cork gasket at the top of the glass bowl, with a rubber one from Oreilly Auto Parts - part # SPC S04108. A perfect replacement.
