[TR] leaking fuel tap

[Scott Suhring]

The other option instead of using the cork, since it will dry out if you do
not run the TR3 for a period of time, is what Randall suggested, and I have
done, is to use a 3/8" rubber fuel hose. This has the proper OD to fit in
the tape body and will compress nicely when tightening the adjustment screw,
and obviously will not dry out.

While "restoring" my 1957 TR3 I replaced the fuel tap with a new one from
Moss.  However it leaks and seems to be leaking from the actual tap, not the
connections, anyone have experience with this?  Every time I fill the tank
it empties itself on my garage floor.

 

Thanks,
