Are these nos? Or aftermarket no name?
I don't know what you mean by aftermarket no name. I purchased them from a military supplier rerfered to me by a fellow member here. They are current manufacture, not old and cracked if thats what you mean. These are milspec parts.

Howdy,
Any tube or drain will use a well nut to seal the opening. Any time you have a fuel leak, it will be the well nut.
Not all well nuts are the same. You want this one made with Buna N nitrile rubber because of the contact with diesel.

You still have 2? I don't need one... yet. But it might be cheap insurance to put on the shelf.

I just discovered a leaking well nut at the bottom drain location on my MEP 802A. Thanks for the information on this thread to help get me on the right track to repair it.

Thanks Mike.
Anyone have a problem ordering from green mountain generator? I've left 3 messages regarding ordering replacement parts. No one has returned my calls. Frustrated.

That company has an interesting business model.
Wonder what growth strategy they have behind that.

It depends on what parts are needed? Right here is a great source for stuff.
