Good To Know

Q: Why is a reserve setting important on a fuel valve? A: It allows access to the bottom portion of the fuel tank when the main fuel level runs low, helping to avoid getting stranded.

Q: How do I know if the fuel tap needs replacement? A: If fuel continuously drips from the valve or bypasses the off position, the internal seals have failed and require a replacement unit.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
