I can't remove the brass cover to the float valve, won't loosen. Soaked days
with PB Blaster and Kroil. The brass yields when a wrench is on it. Very tight! Is this a common problem? What is the fuel pressure suppose to be? |

Is this a common problem? What is the fuel pressure suppose to be? If the other suggestions fail, first procure a new cap. Second, get a hole saw that just fits around the perimeter of the 18mm(?) flats of the plug, ( after removing the guide drill bit ) Drill slowly and squarely. When enough material to weaken the pressure on the soft metal seal has been removed, the cap will come off. Unless an "expert" used some special sealant. |
