Anyone have a valve similar to this in your stash?

Post by schwabd1 » Sun Jan 25, 2026 10:31 pm

I'm gathering parts to build a '26 roadster fuel delivery truck with my grandsons. I know many of you have all kinds of interesting things hidden away. I'm looking for a valve similar to this that would be used on a fuel delivery truck. Anyone out there have something similar they would be willing to part with?

Frank, I'm looking for the big brass valve at the bottom of the bulk tank. Your picture of the "Purol-Pep" truck is better than my pic. I only need one of the valves.

Thanks for that lead, tried to google but didn't know the name. ULine has a 2" thread brass one, handle could be painted to hide modern look or modify it.
