What is the correct rebuild kit for these petcocks? Don't seem to find it....

[Fearthepack]

Evaporust results..... seeing is beleaving



After 1 gallon and sloshing around



Stopped being cheap added 2 more gallons total of 3 gals....



I'm feeling better about putting gas in that tank. Getting ready to rinse with water and add some penetrating oil slosh it around to coat everything to prevent flash rust till ready for gas......

Yeah, sorry. It's been a long week. I try and help as I "relax" at work, then go home and try to get my '79 ready for this Friday...

He was confusing you with someone else that had the basic same question.

[Fearthepack]

You may not have to with the electronic gauge you bought. If it can be adjusted to measure the difference, be it up or down, no problems.

You lost me with your responce...

You may not have to with the electronic gauge you bought. If it can be adjusted to measure the difference, be it up or down, no problems. If you want to use the XS1100 gauge, you will have problems. One way would be install the sender so the float goes to the back of the tank. It will not work well when full, but WILL let you know as the level drops.

Problem is the Standard float arm unit is on the left side of the tank and the Special's thermistor setup is on the right side, meaning the unit would have to be installed upside down. Might be possible to modify the Standard's unit somehow for a reverse fit. The bolt pattern is the same for both.

Thank you sir....upside down does that mean when the tank shows full its empty lol.
Do you think there is enough physical room inside the special to make something work?

If not I guess either steal the dummy light from a special or rig a light and use the thermistor function....

Will a Standard fuel sending unit be a direct bolt on for a Special tank?...If so would the gauge be fairly accurate?

Rebuilt front master brake and calipers over the weekend getting ready to bleed them...

FYI if you soak this rubber seal in brake fluid for fifteen minutes it literally turns into a rubber band and just slides right on....seems many have a difficult time with this part....
