ed Posted May 4, 2023 Report Posted May 4, 2023 Anyone know what type of seal is used under the quick drain of fuel selector valve 6152? Parts book only shows the valve number. It was made by H&E. The drain is the type you have to push a metal rod up into that small pipe to drain it. here is a picture of it from bottom. There is a full valve like it for sale on ebay (BAS sales) for more pictures. I will have it apart later in month but would like to have the seal on hand. This is used on early B's and C's (SN 1701-2622) D's (SN 101-200)
Hank Posted May 4, 2023 Report Posted May 4, 2023 If it's like my C, it's less of a "drain" and more of a "sample port." Sorry, I dont know the part numbers, but can look when I get home unless the Maintenance Manual is at the hangar (likely, that's where I use it).
ed Posted May 5, 2023 Author Report Posted May 5, 2023 Hank, as noted in my post, this fuel selector is only used on the B's and early C's & D's. See the SN's there. If you have a 1970 C, that is likely the later style fuel system which is much different (has the pull chain drain/sample). I wonder if this early style is just a stainless steel ball and spring seat? Thought some here might know. Mine was dripping a little after taking a sample, but I took a few more and it stopped so maybe just a bit of grit under whatever type of seal it uses.
