Fuel Tester Valve

Postby Gyronaut » Fri Feb 22, 2008 12:00 pm

Does anyone know where I can obtain a fuel tester valve? Typically made from brass with a springloaded ballbearing for use with one of these devices?

Try Hyflo in Paarden Island. All the Bush Baby brass fuel fittings are supplied by them. Take them a pic or a sample and I am sure they will do it.

Thanks Morph!

While I'm there I will check if they don't have suitable trolley wheels for you. :lol: :lol: :lol:

The real deal is called a Curtis Drain Valve. Comes in various sizes. Try the AMOs or import from Aircraftspruce.
