The 3500S tap is located under the car near the tank. The 2000 and 2000TC
has it in the engine bay at the back of the right hand inner wing. The
O-ring you want is made from Viton (it withstands ethanol in modern fuel)
and is standard size DASH-012
Inside diameter is 3/8" Outside diameter is 1/2" You can order them from
McMaster.com for $6.82 + P&P
https://www.mcmaster.com/#9464k17/=1c75978

Hope that helps everyone.
