Idaho Waddie Posted August 15 Posted August 15 The fuel shut off valve on our TD7E (part number 650 443 C92) is leaking from the stem. I got some packing material to re-pack the stem but i cant open the gland to replace it. I have a small ball valve and a 90 degree elbow with MNPT threads that I thought I could make work. However when I removed the valve, I found the fuel tube connection is some sort of morphodite straight thread and the tube itself has some sort of crimp on it. So I need to find a replacement fuel shutoff valve or an adapter that will go between the MNPT elbow and the existing fuel supply tube and nut Can anyone point me to where i might get a replacement fuel shut off valve or an adapter?

louie figone Posted August 15 Posted August 15 I had the same problem on my 100C, take the valve apart and put an O ring in it, works fine. 1 Quote
Idaho Waddie Posted August 15 Author Posted August 15 Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that but I have about stripped the gland nut and I can't get it to turn. Quote
Idaho Waddie Posted August 20 Author Posted August 20 I found a ball valve on Amazon as well as a pipe thread elbow. I will remove the Vibra-log tube nut and replace it with a FNPT nut and sleeve and see how that works. I also found a used valve at Norcan in Spokane so if this doesn't work, I have a back up. Thanks for your input 1 Quote
