I had the same problem with those brass seats coming loose. I replaced the top with a reproduction new one.

David,
could this problem also occur with my 1924 Vacuum Tank?? However, in this discussion I still don't understand exactly which brass seats we are talking about here. I completely rebuilt my vacuum tank and installed the repair kit. Only I couldn't remove the parts in the top cover (vacuum valve), but I tested it for functionality using negative pressure. Karl

Karl,
If yours has a pot metal top you will find very small brass seats have been cast into the pot metal under two valves that are connected to the rocker that is operated by the float. In my case the pot metal had expanded a little loosening the seats and preventing them from sealing, If you have an aluminum or brass top it will not have those brass inserts David
