Newbie onboard

Post by Tom Mueller »

'Hey group,
I'm looking for fuel selector valves,or advise,on my Fairchild
24R46. Mine has had, apparently for years, the smallest little leak
at the valve, and has created a small stain on the interior wood
work. The question is, can these valves be reworked, or is it
possible a replacement valve is available. I really want ot keep
this old Girl original. I'm new to the plane,and it's little
idiosyncracies. Only recently became the new caretaker/owner.

'Take it apart and repack it with teflon from the plumbing store. My F-24W
has been that way for 4 years with great success.

Glad to hear you joined the Fairchild ranks! I am sure
you wil love your plane! We have 6 sets of NOS fuel
select valves in our stock. They come with the
Y-fitting. If you choose not to rebuild yours, PLEASE
let me know if you would like a new set! ($100.00 per
