I still am shocked nobody wants these to have on hand just in case. Your products are always top notch. If i had a stock pilot i would buy a couple, but i have no intentions of ever owning a stock pilot... for very long

| Post subject: | Pilot Petcock Valve Rebuild Kit |
I started another thread originally about my petcock valve leaking and someone posted a link to a guy on E-bay that was making a rebuild kit. I bought the kit and found that it was not of good quality and thought about making one myself. See post viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14467 I think I have figured out a way to produce the internal parts to make the petcock valve rebuildable. I have located the O-rings on the back and the X-ring/quad-ring that goes around the lever both in quality US made Buna-N rubber. I have two different options on making the internal gasket and am testing to see which way holds more precision. With quality US made stainless screws and everything I think I can get the price to around $15.00 shipped to the continental US. I would need to sell at least 20 to be able to get it to this price. I am trying to find out who would be interested in buying the kit to see if it would be worthwhile to make. |

Just a handy tip. I shoe box with some floordry or kitty litter will sit under your pilot and collect any gas BEFORE it can develope a vapor blanket on your garage floor. 24" is the common safety standard for ignition sourses in garage type enviroments but a heavy vapor layer can be lifted to that ignition sourse by foot traffic in the garage or a gust or breeze blowing i under your garage door. Capture the fuel before its a hazard. don't count on the vapor not reaching the pilot on your heater cause it's 24"high. |

I have decided on which route to go for the manufacture of these items but it looks like no one is interested except for myself and rmesser. This is just one more chance to see if anyone does actually want these. I do need at least 20 to cover the minimum order. |

I totally understand that there are people with Engine swaps but there are still quite a few of us with stock fuel tanks. And once they start leaking your screwed without this part. I was going to put up the money for about 50 sets but my wife was ready to cut my balls off. LMAO |

Update I received a sample of the petcock rubber at the beginning of August and let it plus the o-ring sample soak in 100 octane fuel to test for the last couple of months. I plan on leaving them in fuel as long as I can but so far so good. These are USA made rubber products but I still want to see if the gas attacks them in any way. |
