Reply To: Neptune AA1 Fuel Strainer

[Daniel Locke]

I know this is an older post, but I thought
I might comment. I have an older AA1 with
teardrop shaped tank. I managed to
remove the petcock pipe assembly which
appears to be made of brass and has a
brass screen which is soldered to the top
end of the pipe. While I haven’t verified this,
the threads appear to be 1/8 NPT. Mine
appears ok, but I will replace it if I can.

I need to think about sealing the tank as
there is fine rust. I wish they had used
brass instead of steel!! The original paint
was maroon. Does anyone have a paint #?
