Keith>the filters inside the tank on the upermost part of these valves is
supposed to keep the grunge and shit in the tank out of the valve and the
motor.Unfortunatly its not the stuff in the tank thats giving you the
problem.Its the gas which over time will corrode and cause the rubber
washers in the valves to fall to pieces and clog.You can keep replacing the
rubber gaskets or you can get rid of them and use a different material that
wont break down over time.I carry extras and do semi-routine
maintanence-meaning if it starts to give me trouble I take care of it.....KO

I had replaced my right side fuel valve with one purchased from Harpers about 1.5 years ago. This fuel valve now keeps clogging up on itself. A disassembly shows that the circular rubber inside of it is breaking apart and clogging up the holes for the fuel to flow through. Thought I had this fixed after the 1st disassembly/repair, but it just did it again. I just ordered a new replacement left valve as that one appeared to be leaking after disassembling it and cleaning it out (it is original). Now, the right side is clogged and the left side works and does not seem to leak anymore. So whats the story with these valves, should I get them from a particular source or continue to repair them as the clog/leak?
