Re: 1996 new fuel filters, hard start Reply #25 – February 26, 2019, 11:55:21 am I used a ball valve that is rated for WOG (Water, Oil, & Gas). It didn't specifically say it was rated for diesel, but from what I could find on the internet, it should be good to go. That said, I could easily be spooked into changing it out for one that is specifically meant for diesel if I could find one and if there some contraindication about the suitability for diesel of the WOG designation.Don Quote from: RetiredGuns – February 24, 2019, 10:05:29 am...You wouldn't happen to have a resource for that Ball Valve, by any chance? Sounds like a Great Idea, to me! Quote Selected

Re: 1996 new fuel filters, hard start Reply #29 – February 26, 2019, 02:20:41 pm regular ball valves such as apollo 70 series ok unless you have lots of dirty high velocity diesel. Can't guarantee other countries of origin ball valves. Quote Selected
