Petrol Tap

<< < (3/3)

Hi,
Still no luck with the petrol tap.
Neither DSS or Wemoto have 20mm taps or offer any solution.
So far all I can see is ones in the US (with attached high postage costs) or very cheap ones from 'odd' websites in far away lands.
Tempted to give one of the 'odd' sites a go - they have the right thread taps at just a few pounds so can probably get 8 or 9 taps for the same cost as 1 from the US.
No idea on quality but might have a shot and see.
Cheers,
Andy

To finish this thread off, lost the will to live Googling for the tap and ordered one from Four into 1 which duly arrived after payment of painful charges etc.
M20 x 1.5mm thread and fits fine to the tank so finally able to run bike without elaborate temporary tank set up.
Still baffled that I have 3 tanks with this thread size but none of the usual sources show taps for them.
Anyway, happy that I can now play a bit easier with setting up the bike.
Cheers,
Andy

...well that was a drama I’d never been aware of; upto date I’ve just ordered a petcock. You live and learn... I’m always surprised just how these bikes differed between countries as this must have caused significant manufacturing expenses let alone headaches.
Eg my non Europe F2 has a steering lock within the ignition switch (bloody great)... but headstock is therefore different to UK. Then there’s the pillion footrest loops - or not if non-Europe. Now the petcock. Understand local safety legislations, but the above surely n/a?
