Hello!
Im doing a complete restoration of my gas tank (the older one with electrical fuel level sensor), and found a strange piece of rubber tube (same size as fuel hose) squeezed down between the fuel pump mounting plate and the side of the tank.

What is this? Vibration damper? I guess it has gotten deformed since it fell off. Must it be in place? Can it be replaced with a piece of regular fuel hose?

Vibration damper. Most of us don't have one any more. I think MartinW has a photo of one in place?

ok, thanks. Is it not necessary to have that rubber tube in place?

(is it not possible to post pictures here on the forum?)

I've owned my K100 for thirteen years and the missing piece of rubber has never gievn any problems.
