Re: Please recommend me some decent petrol taps

If you have leaky taps fitted with cork seals, try replacing with seals cut from those new high density foam corks you get on some wine bottles (Italian?). I did mine some 10 years ago and they have never leaked since.

Re: Please recommend me some decent petrol taps

Gerard the taps are listed as 1/4 BSP both ends. I can't imagine that both taps would have a duff thread at the outlet? Are you sure that the threads in your union nuts are not damaged/stretched? Can you try the tank end of your old taps in the union nut before you set too with a 1/4 BSP die. Ron

Re: Please recommend me some decent petrol taps

I had to run a die down both output threads to clean them up. The off thing was there was no visual issue or damage - but it's all good now.
