LP2A Fuel Tap

Nathan Clark · #1 21-01-13, 12:47

Just a quick query, I am searching for information on the 3 way fuel cock/tap that is used in the Aust LP2A carrier. Part No. is 1009. Is this part unique to the carrier or is there a tap out of something else that can be also used as a replacement. If someone could post some detailed pictures of an original tap for reference it would be greatly appreciated. I have 3 carriers and none of them have had the tap left in

hence why im asking

Regards Nathan

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

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.

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.

Photos of the tap/cock lever. I have included a tape measure for scale.

Thanks for the info, guys. I need one for my LP2A carrier ! Please send PM if you can help. Also have unusual spares to swap.

Hi Nathan, I forgot to tell you that 1824,original colour was disrputiv, maybe my spelling is not good but you will get my drift, good luck with your projects, regards Ron

Hey Ron,

I have in service pics of 1824 with my Grandad, very early in its life and it was green not disruptive!.
