Morning men. After a bit of advice/info please. One of the brass/copper tubes that fit into the fuel tap and sit inside the fuel tank is slightly bent on my tap. It has a "slight" kink in it. My question is what is the best option to rectify? heat and try to straighten? replace with new tube if anyone knows where to source the tube or Leave It Alone and use as is?  Thanks  |

could you try pushing a drill bit shank into the hole and giving it a bit of a wiggle to see if it straightens out?

I'm not sure🤔
I would have to somehow get the plastic filter off the end of the tube or remove the tube from the tap body. Not sure how or if they even come out. Are they just pushed into the tap body? Anyone know?🤔
I have found some small diameter brass tube now on the interweb. I take it they are brass tubes?

Two easiest options are leave as-is, or replace with another one... :-) If LC, the replacements are cheap.

you mean the stub the rubber fuel pipe goes onto don't you? I have had that happen too I'm talking about the brass part that sits inside the tank with the mesh filter on |

What bike?
If you have the non vacuum tap on your ypvs (The one with the filter on the bottom) I'm sure the tube is supposed to be bent
I'd have to check the spare I have
