Thank you Aquasonic
Based on your reply and other posts I decided to remediate the pressure relief valve with a temporary fix, the indentations on the valve convinced me to try, photo of the relief valve attached below.
I removed the valve and coated the top of it with Star Brite Liquid Electric Tape which I have used to seal electrical components from the elements. This product dries to a semi hard solid like hard rubber. The coating filled in the indentations created by the valve being in the same spot for so many years.
In addition, to replace part 29 I ground down a brass screw head to the diameter to fit into the space for the part. The head of the screw is the same thickness as the washer part 45.
Pressure tested the gas tank and it holds pressure, the relief valve was bad. I have a new one on order and will replace when it arrives.
Started my engine for the first time tonight.
