BSA Petrol tap, long, 2 and 4 gallon
Long-body petrol tap for 2 and 4 gallon steel tanks, listed in the tank and seat figures from 1969-1970 catalog records.
This is the long-body petrol tap listed for 2 and 4 gallon tanks, catalogued under 82-9611. It's the fuel shutoff that threads into the underside of the tank and lets you turn the flow on or off (and, on the two-position taps of this era, switch over to a reserve position) before the fuel line runs down to the carburetor.

The catalog lists it against the steel petrol tank and twin seat figures, with appearances running 1969 to 1970 in our records. "Long" here refers to the tap body length, which matters because the wrong length tap can leave you with clearance problems against the frame or seat mounting, or won't seat right in the tank boss.
We don't have more detail on this one beyond what's in the catalog record. If you're not sure whether the long or short version is what your tank needs, call the shop and we'll confirm before you order.
We've never carried this one. Tell us what you're after and we'll go looking — you'll get a price and photos before you commit to anything.
