Fuel Spigot for Fuel Check

Peter Ash · 04-25-2013, 02:45 PM

I have used a "T" and run the spigot in combination from the 1/8" NPT gauge port.

I got a push button style fuel check valve from Jegs I think. It has an AN type fitting. Real easy to install and use. I tried a ball valve that worked but one time I bumped the lever on the ball valve and did not notice. Leaked fuel on the starting line and lost the round not to mention the fire hazard. I like the spring loaded button style that I have now.

you will need a "flare seal" ORB fitting(EARLS/XRP/AEROQUIP SELLS EM) with a -10 size on the one end or whatever size the regulator is and a NPT either male or female on the other end--- otherwise just get a AN ORB plug and drill & tap it for the proper size NPT thread

Not sure which A1000 you have, but if there's an 1/8"NPT gauge port on it, you can use the Aeromotive 15631 sample valve. I bought one and used it with my Magnafuel regulator...nice piece, plus it has another port for the gauge.

I ordered one from Jerry Bickel. There were several to choose from, they offer NPT as well as AN style. The price was on the level with the rest. MB

I would buy a -6 straight thread plug from Jegs with a o-ring . Then drill and tap the plug for a 1/4 pipe thread. That is what I did. I think the price was $ 3.99 I hope this helps. Kenney Kelley
