Fuel tap removal 1959 GL

Post by Noggin »

The nut inside the tank is much smaller than normal. Is there a tool available?

No, you have to make one yourself to fit this smaller nut.

This was used on some early models and I have not been able to find a nut tool that fits. Sometimes the breather pipe is straight and then one can use a long socket or a steel tube with deformated end.

If the fuel tap is broken and should be replaced, you could then rotate the outer part to get it loose and then hold the nut (after it's loose) by a screwdriver or similar

No, it's not broken. I need to de-rust the tank.

Does anyone know what size the fuel tap nut inside the tank is? I think I might be able to get it with a long box spanner.
