Does anyone have experience replacing the tubes inside the tank screen?
I see my local hobby shop has brass tubing that should work. I have a few taps with broken off pipes and am on the fence as to repair or buy a new
fuel tap. I dont want a fuel leak, but I like the idea of fixing these old taps..
I can rent a Hazet tap opening tool to replace the seal so one problem solved! |

Thanks, tubing is no problem, it's how to press it in and be leak free that the add does not mention? Hobby store is 1.50/ft. I was thinking drill out the old
pipes and bond the new ones in with something that is fuel compatible. But what will last submerged in gas? Epoxy? |

I've just pressed in the tubes (no adhesive) and had no problems. Remember there is a fine mesh sleeve that goes over the tubes, As for leaks, I'm not sure that is a problem... where would the gas leak to? |

Thanks, your right. I just thought if the gas leakes in the bottom of the tube researve would be of little use. I will try my luck on the worst tap first!
I would like to run a fuel gauge anyway. |

The tubes are physically isolated from each other by the selector disc so there is no chance of a leaking tube causing an issue. |

Does anyone still offer the fuel tap seals or kits? I've not been able to locate anything currently.
Thanks,
