Hi, does anyone know where you can get a fuel tap repair kit, L2 model, I've seen them on ebay coming from Poland but don't know about the quality, and I can't see any part numbers on Cradley's website.
Cheers

Re: Petcock repair kit
Just tagging onto this! I have bought the replacement orings,seals etc so can the orings be replaced without removing the tap from the tank? The tap leaks in the "off" position only so dont really want to disturb the tap to tank gasket if I can help it!

Re: Petcock repair kit
Yes. Remove the long screw that holds the 'handle' on. Then there will be two small screws the hold the face on.
Inside will be two seal. An o-ring and a flat 'face' looking one.
Easier to do if the tank is on the bench but no need to take the tap off

Re: Petcock repair kit
Thats good news Miles,thanks! It may sound silly not to change the tank to tap seal but I do believe in "leave alone if not broke "!

Re: Petcock repair kit
I tried making one myself.. Issue is the rubber thickness.. Just buy the smiley rubber, or order a whole new petcock from aliexpress for the price of the rubber, which I did. Works perfectly.

Re: Petcock repair kit
Hi my fuel tap is not turning off in the off position, I just wondered does the repair kit repair this or just if the tap is leaking?
Thank You
Terence
