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?

I'm sorry but I don't know what exactly our looking for. But did find this https://www.etsy.com/listing/1615131611 ... 0ee4a61427

Might be to modern Then I found this & expect you mean the 3 https://www.schwankeengines.com/product ... pzJBvufOq1 Getting educated need to search on Fuel delivery elbow

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.

Try Dixon D 75 drum valve very similar

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.

Is this what you are looking for? Craig.

Thanks for the replies, even though the drum valves look similar, it looks like they all have an external "gate" to shut off the flow of the liquid, Nothing to attach a delivery hose to. From period photos the valves have a connection, such as a cam lock hose to deliver to a storage tank and also a hook to hold the 5 gallon fuel cans while filling Ya, I know that's not a "T"...... just showing the fuel cans.

I used to have 3 tank valves on a Texaco tank. When it dries out, I'll see if I can locate them.

When it dries out....... It's been getting down to 0 or below up here. Last I looked they were predicting -12 degrees for Saturday morning. I should be thankful it's only -12. Lots of places are far colder than that. Thanks for looking Frank.

Hey Pat, I hope you're drying out! Our -12 degree morning was a false alarm, it was only -1. Let me know if you happen to find your valves, I appreciate your help. My 2 Jr High grandsons have been wanting to do something with a 1926 running gear that I have, so I told them I would work on gathering parts while the weather is nasty (0 degree weather) and we could start when things warm up.

It's supposed to get p to 60 F today, and most of the snow is gone and the slop dried up. I hope to get a chance to look around today or tomorrow.

Well, the valves are not on the tank, but I did establish that they are 1 1/2" NPT on the tank side.

Hmmm, My tank has a single 2" NPT (2.375 OD). I think that's somewhat standard. It'll be interesting what your valves are if they show up.

They're here... someplace, along with about 500,000 other assorted items. The tank has 3 compartments, small, medium and large. I believe the smallest compartment was for motor oil, the medium sized one for kerosene, and the large one for gasoline.
