There are commerical three way fuel valves
Hi
There are commercial three way fuel valves, I'll try and dig out some sources, but I have never found a modern valve which is identical to those used on Chevy CMPs. Maybe with some pictures of old and new valves you will be able to find a local source. Cheers Phil

I bought a modern 3 way tap from 'Thread and Pipe' here in Bournemouth UK for my MK2 carrier. Then I found an original at Dirk Leegwaters site which is now nicely installed. Click on CMP, Armoured and scroll through. Ron

Fuel Tap Part No 1009
Here's a photo of mine, sorry about the delay but it was packed away in a box. No part number on it that I could see but the makers mark is quite clear.
I would appreciate if anyone could provide dimensions of the 'L' shaped lever that attaches to the valve as mine was missing this piece. Ian

photo of mine
I copied my lever from a NOS one, didnt take any measurments at the time so just had the pleasure of doing it in place (cheers to everyone who has done this for my requests), hope the photos and measurments help. I had heard that there was a second type of tap for NZ LP carriers but I have not seen one.

I had a look at the tap lever thats still in 1824 and its not in the shape of an 'L'. Its a brass piece of flat with a round hole one end and the square hole for the tap in the other. Any way thanks for your replys, at least now i can see exactly what it looks like so i no what i have to look for.
Regards Nathan

Fuel Tap
Hi Nathan,The fuel tap in 1824, is the correct type for our Australian carriers, it was in it when it was bought from the army disposal sales, I have owned many carriers over the past 40 od years and they are all fitted with the type that you have in 1824,as are the carriers that I still have,just take your time they will turn up,good luck with your restorations, please keep us informed on the forum on your progress,its nice to see young blood entering our hobby Regards Ron
