elcamino/wheelhorse 9,039 #1 Posted May 13, 2016 How difficult is it to remove the shut valve from the gas tank. Do I just pull it out ? I don't want to mess up the tank since a new one is close to $200.00. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,619 #2 Posted May 13, 2016 Jim, I just pull and twist the old ones out.The tank is pretty robust in that area.The shutoff is bulbous where it resides in the tank but has no sharp edge.A little oil when inserting a new one will help.JAinVA JimAnderson Gloucester,Va 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,039 #4 Posted May 13, 2016 Thanks guys. Not sure what is wrong with valve but it will not completely shut off. Found out the problem when trying to replace the gas line. I dislike the under seat tanks. I did not want to mess up the tank before I can find a tank to mount it behind the seat. I am planning on adding an electric actuator to move a clevis hitch. Went thru hell mounting one on my 310-8 and do not want to repeat all the fun I had. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TDF5G 2,051 #6 Posted May 13, 2016 Your shut off valve is probably corroded. Been there done that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougC 2,641 #7 Posted May 13, 2016 Great topic! I need to replace mine as well and run new gas line hose. Sounds as simple as replacing a GM w/s washer pump and grommet. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
