Default Re: Gas Shutoff/empty carburetor for overnight/long term parking.



Reporting results:

The pictured shutoff valve didn't fit in my 1929 Tudor.

I took out the interior gas line. To find that the long arm that will attach to the original shutoff valve was "too long". It was around 0.4" (1 cm) longer. The tubing is very rigid so there is no way to bent it a bit.

Moreover, the valve will not close because it crashed the GAV rod.

So 2 issues in my 1929 car:

-The Long tubing side was "too long".
-Valve position is incorrect. Needs to be moved to be nearest to the original shutoff valve to avoid the GAV rod (more to the left of its actual placing)

Tomorrow I will call Bratton to check how we solve this. Most probably they will have to refund and I will get an "original valve replacement with the pencil filter". Then I will wait the winter season to empty the tank and do the correct job.

My fast and easy solution didn't work in my car.

Best !!!
