Fuel Leak Fixed

This was a easy and cheap repair. My Ford dealer only wanted to sell me the valve for about $60 and said they dont sell just a o-ring repair kit. So I went to a local shop on the way home BG Rubber & Gasket and I am glad I did they had the orings # 013-V90 the 1 on the top stem for .31 cents each and the # 202-V90 orings the 2 on the side for .52 cents each and these are Viton so needless to say I have a extra set just in case but it only cost me $1.35+ tax for the 1 set. Got home stuck them in and no more leak. After removing the lever assy you could see where it was leaking. Took me about a hour the hardest part was getting my big hands in there and I did have a extendable magnet to pick the screws and wrench out of the valley a few times.

You can now take the rest of the afternoon off.

It is tight back there. Magnet on a stick damn near essential.

Good job posting those 0-ring part numbers. BG Rubber & Gasket saved you some coin.

Merry Christmas.

Darn Eddie, how did you get your big hands in there.

. I had trouble doing a guys valve last weekend with my little hands. Good thing I had rags under the bowl.

Rick I also had rags in there and I used a little right angle screwdriver ratchet but I guess I also have some long fingers that helped get the screws in and out. Of coarse the long magnet was key.

Thanks Mike I would have figured you would have done this by now being up North. I also found a sweet deal for all the o-rings and seals I may use. Man Santa will be stopping at your house soon. So you kids have fun tomorrow.

Good deal Eddie and I know all about those long magnets and little screws. Now that it's too late to mention, I hope you greased the orings up some before you tightened them down.
