Fuel Tap In-tank Filter

[looey]

Just refurbed a genuine 350LC Tap but the on/reserve pipe/gauze plastic part that pushes into the top of the tap and resides in the tank isn't very tight.

I reckon just the petrol sloshing about in the tank will probably knock it out sooner or later.

Anyone glued this back in successfully before or anyone know what to use to stick this back in ?.

try roughing the edges of the filter with a file and see if its tight enough
jb weld could do the job but that's kind of a permanent fix
or stop being a tight b*****d and buy a new tap

Done it now, fixed it in with the tiniest slither of slow cure original Araldite, which claims to be petrol resistant.

I ain't paying £65 for a new tap just cos the internal filter isn't a tight fit

Good point and other fuel tap parts should be available separately too

Yeah I always check the parts lists before I buy anything. Quite often cheaper than buying pattern tat
