Send me your address and I'll send you a piece of new correct 
gasket/diaphragm material to make another bottom gasket.   Use the 
old bottom gasket as a pattern.   I mark it out with a Sharpie, trim 
with my Cutco shears and punch screw holes with a leather 
press-punch.   It's glass fiber reinforced viton and will stand up to 
just about anything you put in the tank.  I've been using it to fix 
leaky pumps... part of the stuff I got from John Moody.   Not sure 
where HE got this stuff but it looks identical in form to the 
original diaphragm material, only stronger/better.
