Description
Overview:
The Villiers 3 Way Tap & Pipes is a vintage fuel control assembly designed to manage dual-fuel systems in older machinery. Built around a robust machined brass body with matching copper pipework, it allows quick changeover between TVO (Tractor Vaporising Oil) and petrol to suit starting and running conditions. The 3-way configuration routes fuel cleanly and reliably, helping prevent leaks and vapour lock in classic engines and stationary plant. A 1/4 inch BSP thread fitting (approximately 6.35 mm) provides broad compatibility with many period British fuel systems. Supplied as unused old stock, it may show light cosmetic ageing that does not affect performance. Ideal for restoring agricultural, horticultural, and workshop equipment where dependable, simple fuel selection is required.
Key Features:
- 3-way fuel tap for selecting between TVO and petrol, or isolating the line as required
- 1/4 inch BSP thread (approx. 6.35 mm) for straightforward integration with common vintage fittings
- Durable brass construction with copper pipes for corrosion resistance and long service life
- Smooth, positive action for quick changeover during cold starts and normal running
- Unused old stock (NOS); minor shelf marks only, no impact on functionality
- Compact inline form for tidy installation in restricted engine bays
- Helps replace worn or leaking original taps to restore reliable fuel management
- Suitable for a wide range of classic equipment, from small tractors to stationary engines
Typical Applications:
Used on vintage machinery that starts on petrol and runs on TVO, including classic tractors, stationary engines, generators, pumps, mowers, rotavators, and light site equipment. Suitable for restorations, routine maintenance, and period-correct repairs where a 3-way changeover is needed to manage dual-fuel tanks or lines.
