gas tank switch on a 1931 model A tudor
The switch to turn on the gas tank is very difficult to turn on my 1931 tudor. I do not have this problem with my 1930 roadster. I hesitate to tear into this problem since I do not want to encounter other problems. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Re: gas tank switch on a 1931 model A tudor
You could try running the tank almost dry and add MMO and then work the valve. But the fix is to repair or replace the gas shut off valve. When you remove the valve, install a filter in the valve before installing back into the tank. When I rebuilt the valve for my Late 31, I made sure to grease the internal’s of the valve before reassemble!

You could leave it be in the open position until you want to replace and add a in line petcock
