Default lpe blockoff plugs help
I'm in the middle of installing my walbro 450 and have both tanks out and I'm ready to install the blockoff plates and I'm wondering if I'm supposed to move the green orings from the factory regulators to the blockoffs. The only similar instructions I've ever seen are for the ecs blockoff and it states not to but looks slightly different.

Does it matter? Might be a dumb question but I couldn't find anything concrete one way or the other and I figure you guys would have experience with it.

Thanks.

Been too long to remember, but I believe you do need orings for it to seal properly.

Mine had orings on it already. If it doesn't, put the old green ones on it.

Thanks. I moved the green ones over and it seemed to seat well.

We provide new o-rings, but it sounds like you have this squared away.

I guess we'll see when I finally get it all back together whether or not I have fuel pressure AND transfer between the tanks.

Man I delt with this soooooo many times, I eventually just sump'd the tanks and ran a hose between. I wish I could have gotten this to work.
