The fuel tap on my Speedster has been weeping a little gas for a while now. It wasn't enough to drip, but the outside of the tap was moist. So I decided to rebuild it. Mission Creep took over when I took the fuel tank out. With the tank out it was a perfect opportunity to repaint it and repaint the trunk. It took longer to do the painting than it took to rebuild the fuel tap.
The fuel tap was pretty ugly with gasoline stains on it.
All cleaned up with the rebuild kit ready to go.
It takes some specialized tools to put one of these together. In this case it a piece of 1/2" EMT.
It doesn't exactly look like new, but it's a heck of a lot better.
I got an old fuel tank out of the attic and put the rebuilt fuel tap on it to test it. Fuel flows fine and I'm going to let it sit for a couple of days to see if it weeps.
My spare fuel tank is in better shape that the dented one in the Speedster, but it's from a later year car.
