Does anyone know of a supplier for the 1/4 turn square body fuel valves that were supplied with the avid kits. Kitfox wants $50 bucks each for them! There must be a better price out there

Here are the ones LEAF sells.  About $9.00 each.  JImChuk

PS,  thought my link would take you right to the correct page.  It doesn't. Go to page 18 or click on Fuel pumps, tanks and components.

The ones I also got from Ace Hardware work great and are very inexpensive.

The original ones that were supplied are rebuild able, Its just a snap ring and 2 dollars worth o rings. Also a good time to enlarge the hole from 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch.

Or replace them with a modern nylon-stainless ball valve that doesn't leak or jam like the o-ring valve does and has a larger passage for better flow.

The original valves are junk.
