Timux Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hi,can anyone tell me what causes the petrol tap to go tight,can it be fixed ? Or is it a replacement ? Need to sort it as it was so tight tonight i nearly had to use a pair of pliers on it!! Lol, Cheers Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild foamy Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 could just be full of sh*t, take it out and give it a good spray through with WD40 and clean the filter screen whilst you're at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted July 2, 2009 Moderator Share Posted July 2, 2009 I would have thought you could strip it down and give it a light clean with something, dont forget the metal is soft though so dont be too rough and rinse it clean before re assembly. Use a well fitting screwdriver on any screws so you dont round them off. If it gets much worse youre gonna break it, Goes without saying drain the tank before stripping...even though i just said it... ...Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUST ME! Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Thanks for the quick replies,i will give it a go,shame i filled the tank up on the way home!! Oh well sods law i suppose!! Cheers Tim G'day mate. If it is the type of tap that has an O-ring, replace the O-ring. It swells and tightens up the guts of the tap.Paul.
