For anyone searching for old Firestone parts, I got this e-mail from Sigmo this morning
"Poppets - are No Longer Available
Nylon Bushings - are No Longer Available

Tank Plug - Liquid, part# 23-6153 $6.10 each
Tank Plug - Gas, part# 23-6152 $6.10 each"

If anyone else knows who might have these parts, let us know.

Yep I have one of these, the nylon bushings get pretty ugly after a while, also the plastic dip tube, but there does not seem to be any good way to convert to regular parts.

The inlet side can be drilled out to fit the SS short tube.

Really? Do you drill out to fit the tube, then also drill out to inset it?

I just ordered a poppet for an old Firestone from Austin Homebrew. I've not yet installed it to test but it appears to be the same piece, yellowish seal.

EDIT: Works like a charm

I took some pics but forgot to bring em. all U have to drill out is the inlet side its the same size about half the way down inside the attached fitting then all U do is drill it the rest of the way at least that is the way mine is. then a reg. short tube slides right in.
U dont have to drill for the inset.
