Go to the parts store and get a fuel line splicing kit for the kind of line you have. We got the one at O'Reilly's here in Skiatook, but I think they all have them. Get one for the supply line and one for the vent line. Those splice kits will allow you to bypass the valve.

Owasso! We have lots of guys in the area, as Ray is in Collinsville but almost Owasso, Bruno is in BA, etc.
