Inline Shut Off Valve

Post by Coyote »

Anyone needing a shut off for a leaky petcock or a way to shut off the oil tank. I found this a ACE hardware in the lawn mower repair section. The package had a Briggs&Straton name on it. As usual at ACE I spent way too much. $8.49. They probably have the same thing at Home Depot for way less. Barbs are a heavy 5/16 (.320)/ It's made for fuel so no worry about self destruct. This is for my start up hanging gas tank

That's exactly the one I used for my oil tank - same packaging as described. Purchased mine at Canadian Tire. It feels fairly solid for a plastice unit. So far so good.

I have also used those valves. Very handy.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Too many bikes, too much time, ENOUGH SPACE, FINALLY! Never enough money.........
