Hi everybody Matt333 new member here. Purchased Buell S1 1998 a couple of months ago as I thought I would have another Buell again as I use to have Molten Orange years ago. Have been doing a few minor jobs that needing doing but I have great difficulty obtaining a petrol tap washer seal , the rubber seal is orange 3 hole 18mm in diameter , the tap is a O.M.G . Don't know if this is a standard tap or not as the petrol tank is a HOLTWORKS Tank. I have spoken to Holtworks and they suggested to come on this forum as the previous owner who ordered the tank was a member. Can anybody help me to obtain a rubber seal for my tap or steer me in the right direction who carries spares. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Cheers Matt |

Ok, is this the seal between the tank and tap or the tap internal seal ? |

Search , petcock repair kit , or just replace the whole thing. One to match the oem one was found by pash . pingel taps were fitted to some holtworks tanks , measure between fixing hole centres if buying. |

Hi, you need an OMG or equivalent 34mm from centre for mounting they do a metal fuel tap upgrade or just replace the mounting o-ring but make sure it’s fuel compatible ie viton.It’s sounds like you have the original tap as the pingle is bigger and has a mounting block.I have the standard tap on my holtsworks tank and it mounted perfectly with no problems , Hope that helps.Do a google search for the tap but make sure you purchase a forward outlet. |
