I've bought many orders of parts from partshark. Never had a problem. Shipping will cost more that the 2 washers. Check the ebay add, see if it includes shipping. I don't recall if I've ever bought anything from that seller. Ebay is definitely a buyer-be-ware type deal. But that seller has sold a bunch of items and has100% positive feedback. But we're not talking about big bucks here.
If you want to go cheap and quick, no guarantee that it will work, But I have used these for similar washers that go under the long bolts on the right and left side top of the Valve cover. I used the washers from metal roofing screws. They have a rubber washer attached to them. Any hardware store will have them. Just have to unthread them from the screws. They have a concave shape and will flatten out when torqued down. Will they work on the petcock bolts? I don't know. They may be too thick. Problem is, if they don't seal, it's a pain to empty the tank, remove and redo.Rich

Buying the original part, upgrading to a "dowty washer" that works better and will last longer than the OEM, or going the Hylomar route. Also, is Hylomar hard to remove/deal with when returning to the area? Thanks!!
Use OEM if you can; if you can't, don't use silicone sealer*, use Hylomar.
*silicone sealer balls up and goes crumbly in the presence of gasoline.---- Dave

Piece of mind for getting the right part is definitely worth at least $6.40.Rich

OriginalOwner I just ordered these washers from the same seller. Did they do the trick for your leak?
