Reinstallation
The Loctite thread sealant should only be applied from approximately halfway from the end to the start
of the thread, again keeping it from entering the fuel line.
Loose Operation
Ensure that the Safety Valve is not too loose in it’s operation. The valve must be firm enough that it
requires a positive closing force, and will not be able to vibrate to the closed position.
Figure 30 Fuel Tap Bracket Sub Assembly
28.40.00 Indicating
The main fuel level indication method is a visual check of the level on the exposed part of the tank on
the right hand side. There are graduations imprinted on the plastic in ten litre increments up to 60 litres,
it should be noted they are calibrated for use while the trike is level on the ground. “Zero” fuel level is
indicated when the fuel is at the bottom of the sight gauge.
WARNING
THE REINSTALLATION OF THE FUEL TAP REQUIRES THE USE OF GASOLINE RESISTANT
THREAD SEALANT TAPE, AND SPECIAL CARE IS REQUIRED TO PREVENT ANY OF THE TAPE
ENTERING THE FUEL LINE. THE WRAP OF THE TAPE NEEDS TO BE IN THE SAME
DIRECTION AS THE THREAD, AND MUST BEGIN AWAY FROM THE START OF THE THREAD.
THIS PROCEDURE CAUSES THE TAPE TO ONLY BE FORCED FURTHER ONTO THE THREAD
DURING INSTALLATION, AND PRECLUDES ANY STRANDS FROM ENTERING THE FUEL LINE.
