Electrical connecter seal/gasket

[farokh]

I had to remove the tank from my 07 R1200RT. On one of the connecters to the fuel pump the seal/gasket came off. It appears that it was broken and the last person just put it back on and stuck it back in there.
I've done a little searching, but I can't seem to find just the seal. Anyone know if I can get the seal anywhere? Picture attached.
Thanks!

You can try either:

or

You may have to call with specs to narrow down what you need.

If you can’t find it or need it right away, I would give it a good shot of dielectric grease and reassemble.

I ordered the full connector to get one once. If you want to go that route PM me and I will look up the details.

If you could, that would be great.

I may do that or just put the old one back, like it was done, and add the grease just to seal it.

That’s what I was trying to convey. The “bellows” type seal, as it has no pressure involved, works well with this process. It even works when the typical locking mechanism has broken off- holding the connector in place.

The catch here is that under the exact right conditions that connection can be underwater or close to it. I've seen standing water (and the related damage) in the recess of those fuel pump assemblies.
