Title: Fuel/Gas Taps/Petcock questions
Post by: scotty on 22.11. 2014 21:22

Greetings all

I'm looking for some fuel taps for my A10 and B33

The only criteria is that they fit properly and do not leak...originality or type not important

Can anyone recommend a type and or supplier ?

Also what is a good sealant to use on threads of these fuel taps ?

Many thanks

Scotty

I have BAP type on mine  - not entirely happy with them as they have rusted - perhaps I just bought from the wrong place

I don't put any sealer on the threads but use copper washers with rubber inserts, like the one here http://www.britcycle.com/products/623/623_series.htm (http://www.britcycle.com/products/623/623_series.htm)

Some one here might know a nearer source

I stock two types that I am happy to recommend. 1) Replica taps for A10's. Pull on / with horizontal banjos and dome nuts. 2) lever taps with dowty washers and adapters. I use both types and have had no problems with them.
