Default Re: Persistent Leaky Fuel Shutoff Valve

Most all the vintage and vintage style shut off valves that I have seen over the years are brass on brass.

I understand your point on that valve shown from Bratton's, the handle is a bit on the large side. You should be able to buy ball type local that has a much smaller handle if you wanted to make something up. The one shown would not prevent a drippy shut off valve at the tank, it goes inline from the original valve to the sediment bowl inside the car. If you have not done so, install pencil filter.
