Replaced Waste Tank & Filter Gaskets on my PC 650 today
Hello to all, I haven't posted much here since the busy season hit. Today I thought I would share my experience that might help someone that has never done this before.
Probably boring stuff for the old farts.
Well after taking the Vortex out for a couple jobs yesterday I realized after missing the suck from The Beast that I had to replace my PC 650 gaskets today. Couldn't find my Acetone (MichAel) when I first started so I used old fashion scrub my ass off on the filter lid. Then I decided to go get the Acetone and sharp putty knife...easy peASey after that.
Steps: scrap off the old gasket, then wire brush the remaining down to adhesive, acetone the shoot out of it and then scrap again with sharp putty knife. Then acetone and wire brush again. Then Thoroughly clean then rub her down good with alcohol. Let dry
Apply Bostic 1100 FS and put new gaskets on

Glad you got them done, a reminder to put the remaining bostic in the tight ziplock or container minimizing air exposure since those are expensive glue, I reuse it after a few months and was having trouble getting them out, had to poke a hole in the body since the nozzle is completely dried up ( that's after storing it in ziplock bag ).
Btw since you have both the 650 and vortex, what do you like in Vortex that the everest is lacking on or maybe give short review of both machines if you could ? Thanks.

That would make a nice review....good job on the tank.
Re: Replaced Waste Tank & Filter Gaskets on my PC 650 today
I scrap off the gasket and most of the glue. Then a 1-2 in wire brush that fits my drill clean off the rest of the glue & debri wash down with break clean then then install the new gasket.
Main thing is the job is done, good work.
