Gas tank gasoline shut-off valve removal tool
Has anyone ever designed a good tool for removing the gas tank gasoline shut-off valve without any damage to the valve itself?
That sure would save a lot of headaches if one were out there. Pluck |

I don't recall the specific size, but one suggestion years ago was to thread a nut on the outlet side of the valve headed to the sediment bulb, and then use a proper size wrench or socket to turn the fuel shutoff out of the tank.
This would keep you from marring the brass fuel valve body. |

IIRC 5/8 x 14 is not NF, it's an odd size. 5/8 NF is 18 TPI.

Wrapped a few turns of duct-tape around threads (not the ones that go into tank ... thread sealant on those!) and slipped a 5/8" deep socket over them to gain a hand hold and mechanical advantage .... worked great. |
