Does anyone know where I can buy a new Petrol reserve valve on the tank?
Thank you

Re: Petrol reserve switch
Your best bet Dan is probably these people. To date I think they have only reconditioned your own unit. This may be a solution if you have one - although t'ain't cheap!. Their site does suggest though that they may now be able to supply complete units for outright purchase, when you'll need to supply them the pick-up tube lengths. I don't think you're likely to find a new original anywhere.

Re: Petrol reserve switch
I 'm looking to modify one of these :

as it's the same basic electric switch and valve unit. At the cost of reconditioning the original, there's quite a bit of financial latitude to make a proper job of it . There are some cheaper ones direct from China - maybe that's where these come from too, who knows ?

Try Barry Thorne. He has contact with a man that can.
He now has a web site.

Re: Petrol reserve switch
Thank you all for your replies. Unfortunately both recommendations require an old unit to turn in and rebuild before selling one. If anyone has an old unit no matter what condition, please let me know.
Thank you,
