'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.
