Title: fuel taps
Post by: dellenty1234 on December 11, 2015, 12:03:43 AM

Hi all,

I purchased a fuel tap for my 550k3 and the one that arrived is considerably smaller that the one I removed from my tank.

Am I missing something somewhere? The gentleman I purchased it from Said he's only ever known them to be one size.

There are 3 different type of tap fittings to the tank

(1) two screws inside the bowl on the bottom
(2) small threaded boss on the tank
(3) large threaded boss on the tank

I believe that for 2 &3 there can be either one or two fuel outlets but not sure.

Things vary by year and country sent to so those details might help
