Fuel Tap Black 73 Brass Fitting

#1 PostAuthor: IrishKev » Sun Nov 24, 2019 12:05 am

Hi
I have a Z1 73 Black Fuel Tap with an unusual crack in the brass pipe.
In the attached pic you can see can see the length of the crack in the pipe.
My question is can the brass pipe be removed and replaced without damaging the Fuel Tap.
How can I remove the pipe and re install a new one and make sure it cannot be dislodge. How would you also secure the smaller plastic fuel filter on the reserve side of the Fuel Tap? Really would appreciate any help with this problem.

Thanks Irishkev

the tube is only pressed in. warn the tap with a heat gun & gently pull it out . measure the pipe diameter & you can buy it in short lengths on e bay
