Fuel Check Valve

Recommended Posts

Marv

I ordered check valves off E bay to stop back feed when tractors sit for long periods. The item pictured is the Check valve I ordered. I got a pack of three. Unfortunately, they all leak. I tested them before installation to make sure they would work. Looks like I will have to find something different.

Along the same line, I think that the carb bowl evaporates ( probably a lot just after it is shut off due to heat ) But at least between the two, I switched to electric fuel pump which stopped the hard starting problem..  Seems like a lot of the guys on here have done that...:)

Other options... electric fuel pump, shut off valve, primer bulb, or keep the tank filled.

Here in denmark we have diesel specialist auto repair and parts stores. They carry that one way walve, and thay look the same and work just perfect. I use them on older diesel cars that has a problem with backflow from the pump.

 

I can send some to you if you want.

 

The ones I can get, are made to come apart, and you can seal the threads with a bit of teflon tape etc.

Jerry,  Ed, I have installed electrics on three of my tractors. Works great. Plan check valves on the others. They are rarely used but I like to start them once in a while.

Skipper, Thanks for the offer. I opened one up and moved the poppet about. put it back together and it seems to work. I will do the others that way too. Maybe they were sticky from sitting on the shelf.
