Petrol tap

Forums

Any recommendations for a decent quality petrol tap for my Dominator 99 ?

Mine has just sheared off level with the tank after giving it a very gentle tweak after noticing a petrol leak. Great fun with a three quarter tank of petrol ! Looks like monkey metal.  It seems to be similar to part no. 60/7266 in the NOC shop. I see that there is one with a reserve facility.

Had a few issues with these on my M-50 & 650 SS; ended up (as I had a spare NOS ones on the shelf ) so fitted a BAP Commando tap.

OK; has no reserve, but its robust and had 4 years use with no issues. Also just seen this which may assist?

so you pays yer money.......

Good luck, but had some very bad 'aftermarket' reproduction Enots style taps (with reserve) which just leaked from new. I stripped them both twice but could not stop them leaking,  so take care.
