Description
Overview:
This 3‐way fuel tap is a genuine Villiers part designed for dual‐fuel stationary engines. It allows you to select between petrol for cold starting and paraffin (kerosene) for running once warm, helping older engines operate as intended. The lever‐operated valve has a compact, durable body, typically in brass, for long service with petrol and paraffin fuels. Thread size is 1/4 inch BSP (approx. 6.35 mm nominal), matching common vintage Villiers fuel systems for a precise fit. Ideal for servicing or restoring engines such as the Villiers C28 and C30, it maintains reliable fuel control with straightforward operation. Supplied as unused old stock; minor tarnishing or storage marks may be present, but function is unaffected. Genuine Part for correct compatibility and performance.
