I just finished changing fuel filters on my Deuce and all went well, no leaks. However, as I tightened the bleeder valve the head snapped off. Any place to get the valve or is it a standard valve I can get at NAPA??

It is just a standard petcock. You can put a pipe plug in it if you can't find the petcock.

I did the same thing once (doh!), and got a replacement from Memphis Equipment. If I ever do it again, though, I'll probably use some other random petcock with a stronger stem.

I prefer to keep petcocks Im somewhat familiar with in my equipment. My momma taught me to stay away from any old random petcocks with strong stems. :mrgreen:

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. About 5 hours ago I snapped the bleeder off. Wasn't even close to tight. I'm a long way from everything so I think a bolt or pipe plug is in order. Anyone know the thread size?

My (new to me) truck quit on me. The fuel looked like bad chocolate milk. I drained and cleaned the tank and put 3 new filters. I only was able to bleed 2 injectors prior to battery issues. I'll try again tomorrow.
