What was the original gasket made from????? I'm guessing cork. I'd most likely use the cork unless i could verify that the composite-cork is a neoprene composite and not rubber.

HOWEVER, if the existing gasket is not torn then i'd just reuse it as long as the unit is a still agood tite fit when installed.

Take a lighter and burn the composite material. Neoprene will not burn but can melt and get runny if u get it hot enuf. Rubber will just burn and gasoline will dissolve rubber but not neoprene.
