C150 Fuel valve
Re: C150 Fuel valve
I was just checking out <www.Aircraft-Spruce.com>. If you type in the search "o-ring" it comes up with a lot of choices and says fuel resistant. Perhaps if you call them up they might have a catalog or indexing system to identify the one you need. At least they might be able to recommend someone who can.
Good luck.
Re: C150 Fuel valve
Bryan,
That is just what happened. It was on for who knows how long and then I shut it off in preparing for the annual then the leaks began.
Barry thanks for the info, I will look into the o rings further. Yes, my AP will do all the work and is going to look into this issue as well in hopes of saving the cost of a replacement valve. I am just trying to save him some leg work.
Also, for everyones information the Cessna part number I listed above is no longer available. The Cessna recommended replacement is 9851078-4. That I was able to find on the I want Cessna parts web site for $458. Gad!
Thanks to everyone for your input.

Blame the trial lawyers
The research, development, and manufacturing is not very expensive. Cessna has to charge that much in order to be able to pay very high insurance and settlement costs. Also enough profit to stay in business.
Any industry which has deep pockets has been devistated by greedy lawyers and wimpy members of the jury.
The only time common sense does not pay off in the court room.
Re: C150 Fuel valve
Hello DWC;
Your fuel valve might be different, but the fuel valves on my '72 and '74 C-150s didn't use o-rings in the assembly. My A&P fixed the leaky valve using some lapping compound and re-seated it just like re-seating a valve in the cylinder head, working it back and forth until it seated properly.
