FTP 900 Filler Valve Leak
Posted: Sat Jan 27, 2018 6:42 pm
Hi,
my FTP 900 has been intermiterntly leaking air from the filler port when the filling probe is removed, it's now leaking constantly and is a bit of a PITA.
I am going to remove the filler valve assembly and fit new seals shortly, however I understand that a long term fix can be had by replacing the FTP 900 filler valve body with the one used on the EV2/ S400 etc (part no. S491). together with a T bar filler replacement valve from Best fittings.
I know that I will lose the pressure guage if I do this mod, but I can live with that as it will make filling just a bit easier.
Just wondering if anyone else has done this mod and can give me any advice?
Thanks
