Subject: Groco 6 port fuel valve

To: AAA Put this in the To box


For those looking to save some money (at the expense of weight) the
Groco 6 port
marine fuel valve(GRO-FV65038)is an option. I bought three from
JMSOnline.net
Marine supply for $135 ea. Cmpare that to the Andair 6 port @ $650 ea.
The Groco is solid brass, weighs 2 lbs 14 oz out of the box. I can't
find the
weight for the Andair duplex. I do believe that with some careful
milling, at
least a pound could be pared off the Groco, probably more.
As I will need three valves for my four tank configuration, the money
saved is
substantial.
