Listers,
Opinions please: I want to install a fuel shutoff valve in my fuel line.
Although most TR3's came with one, my TR3B did not. What I really want is a
little brass shutoff valve, or petcock. My local auto parts place had
nothing. So I went to my nearby Home Depot plumbing department, and bought
exactly what I wanted. I got it home and took it apart. It's not all
metal -- there is a fiber sealing washer around the stem.
My question is -- This device is made for water, not gasoline. With the gas
attack that fiber washer, causing the valve to eventually leak?
Another question -- The guy at the auto parts place recommended I use teflon
tape to seal the fittings in my fuel line. Will gas eventually attack the
teflon and cause a leak? If so, what do you recommend?
Thanks!
