    I have a 1926 model t . The fuel comes from a gravity fed gas tank. The handle broke that allows full flow and if you want to shut off fuel. Do they make a replacement handle? Im assuming the fitting is really stuck so I am using pb blaster. If the valve doesn't come off what can I do?
    Thanks

    I may be jumping the gun on my fuel shut off handle.I have been soaking the valve that's threaded to the fuel tank with wd40. I haven't tried to take it off. But what can I do if the shut off valve won't come off? I am going to try and change the lever but I want took what if?
    Thanks

    Sometimes I over think things. It’s called paralysis by over analysis. If I can’t take off original ball valve leave it open and put a shut off valve in between valve and carburetor. Like I said sometime I get stupid.
    Thanks
