You will need to get it started & then hold the fitting from both sides, then get it very tight so it will bend slightly & seal up. Then you can test the seal with it outside. You can also grind a bit of a flat in the washer to help, but you risk it being a bit sharp causing it's own issues.
Since my last re-stock of these fittings, cost of them has gone SKY HIGH! Took a while, but I did find some new distributors. This kit serves a few functions for many of the military generators, including the MEP 802A & 803A. The 90 degree fitting is to help with the harsh bend at is at the fitting on the MEP 802A & 803A. It can be used with the military issue auxillary fuel line of the step down provider in the kit. Pictures showing both setups are shown. The downsize adapter goes from the -5 to -4. -5 is not a common size. That way you can have/use your own -4 hydraulic line to make a connection to an external fuel source. The -4 to 5/16 hose barb is so you can go to your local auto parts store and get a length of fuel line than you need & adapt it to whatever you need. The -5 male to -4 female is for using the military issue auxiliary fuel like and stepping it down. This could be used in many different ways. Simply for making a longer line, or to adapt to fuel line fittings in the generator in case you need to bypass something. The -4 double male fitting is for emergency use in fuel line connections in the generator. Example shown in the pictures. Also would be used in the example I gave above. There are probably more examples that these could be used for. I've kept a few sets of all of these fittings handy on my trailed unit for years. Some people only may want one, so to keep the cost down, I kept the kit with one fitting each but am offering a slight discount if you purchase two. Gives you more options in a pinch. Due to supplier changes from time to time, the fittings may change slightly in appearance but will always be the same fit & function as pictured! I have some other MEP 802A & MEP 803A parts listed.
