Gas Tank

[fireinspect 1]

I noticed that there appears to be a piece of metal or fine mesh screen that seems to be sticking up right where the fuel goes to the fuel line or shutoff valve. My tank has a shut off under the tank that will swivel 360.  I have a few questions; is there a way to safely get the valve out of the tank without messing it up, is that piece of metal normal?  I cannot take a picture of it just because the tank is black so there is no way to get the flash to work and if I try to use a flashlight you cannot get the camera in close enough ..???  on a side note where is a good place to find the wiring diagram for the regulator?  I know a bit out of the fuel range but seems to be more and more issues... thanks for any help   Pat

The shut-off valve looks like this and has a screen.

 Sold many places and on eBay.   

If removed I'ld suggest replacing valve and grommet.

Just type "Wheel Horse fuel valve" in eBay or on the web.

Prices have a wide spread.

oldlineman, is there a list of vendors?  i did not see it

[Racinbob 11,234]

On the front page scroll down to the classified. There they be. I've dealt with several of them and they are all first rate.

yeah.... me too!  I popped the valve out, all nice and clean, but you couldn't get a pin thru the outlet.

It was full of rust.  Take it apart and clean it.
