Description

Overview:
This straight inline fuel tap is a non-genuine replacement for Briggs & Stratton reference 494768, designed to control fuel flow on small petrol engines. Made from durable black plastic with a simple red quarter‐turn lever, it provides reliable ON/OFF shut‐off for maintenance, storage, or transport. The tap has barbed 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) inlet and outlet spigots to suit 6-8 mm fuel hose (approx. 1/4-5/16 inch), giving a snug, leak‐resistant connection. It is suitable for common garden and construction equipment such as lawn mowers and portable generators, including many machines using small Briggs & Stratton engines. Use it as a straightforward inline shut‐off to help prevent flooding, ease carburettor servicing, and manage fuel when storing equipment.

Key Features:
- Non-genuine replacement for Briggs & Stratton 494768 for cost‐effective maintenance
- Straight inline design with 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) barbed spigots for 6-8 mm hose (approx. 1/4-5/16 inch)
- Positive ON/OFF lever for quick, clear fuel isolation
- Tough plastic body for corrosion resistance with petrol and everyday workshop use
- Compact form factor to fit tight engine bays and fuel lines
- Smooth quarter‐turn action helps reduce wear and sticking
- Aids safe transport and storage by shutting off fuel supply
- Simple push‐on hose fitment; secure with suitable hose clips for a reliable seal
- Helps prevent carburettor flooding and eases routine servicing
- Suitable for many small petrol engines found in lawn and garden machinery

Typical Applications:
Inline fuel shut‐off on walk‐behind mowers, ride‐on mowers, generators, tillers, scarifiers, pressure washers, small compressors, and other compact petrol‐powered equipment. Useful wherever you need a manual, quick‐action fuel isolation point in a 6-8 mm fuel line.
