Just changing my leaking Beta  fuel tap(again)

When I insert the tap and filter into the tank , the filter tube seems far to long to be accommodated.

It is like it hits the top of the tank and needs to bend.

Shoving and twisting gets it in. 

But it doesn't feel right.

I know about the left hand ,right hand threads on the tap body.

(No innuendo meant)

 

 

When you say, changing the tap again, do you mean fitting a new one?

If it is leaking generally it can be cleaned -check my post some time ago on Evo Fuel tap cleaning.

The tap/ filter does have to be pushed up into the tank and most likely bends with the shape of the top of the tank.

hope this helps.
