Petrol tap with reserve tube

A petrol tap with a reserve tube, the tank-mounted fuel valve that lets you switch to a reserve supply when the main runs low.

PN · 82-3116

This is the petrol tap listed for the tank figures, 82-3116, with the reserve tube fitted. It's the earlier F3116 form of the same part, so if your parts book still lists the letter-prefix number that's the identical piece under a later numbering scheme.

A reserve-tube tap gives you a main fuel feed and a lower reserve position, so when the main supply runs dry you can switch over to draw the last bit out of the tank and get to a station. The catalog ties this one to tank figures from the early 1960s catalog runs, but we don't have more detail beyond that on thread size or mounting specifics.

Call the shop and we'll confirm fitment against your tank before you order, since petrol taps vary in thread and outlet configuration across the years.
