Anyone got information or diametions of these grommets.

UC-2802.   8mm

One of mine has started weep so need to do something about them. I can get grommets from lots of places but need diametions or a known suppler of the part. I am already talking to Clipper but no response yet.

Boat in France so cannot measure them. I thought it would be easy to get spares!! But!!

So, looking for tank hole size and thinkness, I can work the rest out.

Thanks

These look the same as the flow and return fuel pipes. Are they simply a push fit? I presume there is a tube going to the tank bottom. Do you know the purpose of the connection in your picture?

Its a fuel visual level indicator, however I use mine to sample fuel from bottom of the tank and a supply fuel to my webasto.
The grommets are push in type and an 8mm pipe goes through it.
See my posts before.
