Gas tap
« on: September 25 2014, 12:49 »
Hi,

Does anyone know of a source of cabin gas tap, i.e. the one with the big red handle and the same as the fuel shut-off valve?

Thanks,

Andy

Last year I had a leak from the original tap in the closed postion.  Changed it for a ball valve type from Socal Southampton.  Did involve modifying the pipe run.  You may find the original fitting diffcult to dismantle ,had to cut mine off with a Dremel.

Both of the original taps are rubbish, change them for ball valves.
