Reviews
I have a 43 J3 with a 12 gal wing tank. I did not need the adapters, went in very easy and does not leak and is east to check. Works as shown.
Does not fit PA-22-150. I thought I would order this kit since I was on the road and couldn’t remember the NPT size for the PA-22. I needed to replace a rusty fuel drain when I got home for a big vacation trip and thought this would be a full-proof way to get the proper parts. Did a dry fit and found that with the 1/4” NPT adaptor and the 1/8” fuel drain fully tightened the door won’t open or close, there’s about 1/4” of interference. The valve hangs down ridiculously low below the wing when fully tightened. Order 1/4” NPT flush fuel drains for your PA-22-150, you don’t need adaptors.
I installed these fuel sumps and after a couple uses they started to leak. I lost over 15 gallons of AV Gas. $$ very expensive loss.
