Hi all

I have 2 x nos petrol taps I want to fit to an m20 tank I have

I need the 2 adapters that screw into the tank itself which then allows the taps to be fitted

Am I making sense ?

Any one got info on where I could get these ?

Best regards

I got mine in a local store, dealing with pressure pipes.

It quite cheap, and you have a chance to compare few models and screw in your tap for test..

TMS of Nottingham list one, looks like it's steel with a large hexagon £3.

talking of leaks keep your petrol tap corks soaked in petrol dont let them dry out or they will leak

if you have dry taps which are leaking, take out the bit that contains the cork and drop them in boiling water for a couple of minutes this will cause the corks to swell, dry and refit.

Thanks everyone info is much appreciated

I learned the trick of soaking corks in petrol from the old boy who saved my aul green Nellie from the scrap heap many years ago, simple but very effective

Should there be filters screwed into these adaptors? If not is there anywhere to filter prior to the carb?

pete there is a small gauze filter about 2" long that is on the petrol tap and goes into the tank it is soldered in place

both of my adapters are brass and have the filters already soldered to em, luckily the filters are ok, i just got to find the taps,

Remember also when looking at adapters in a plumbing outlet or similar there are two pipe threads...BSP and BSPT..the latter having a tapered thread form.
For motorcycle applications the non tapered BSP type are used...Ian
