New manufacture Fuel Valves to replace the imperial valves

[Fred Johnson]

While at the Alaska Trade show came across this flyer for an approved replacement fuel valve for the imperial valves, approved for the Aeronca and American Champion, at least it gives us a potential solution. http://www.burlac.com/index.html

I saw them at the trade show....er, I mean the Great Alaska Aviation Gathering too, but at $400 a pop AND having to get a field approval too is a bit much for me.

My STC is again in the works and they will be a LOT less than that and a direct fit. I am working with Terry Bowden on this now so I can make some progress. Tim

Really nice fixture, Lot different from the 1940's factory would have used.

They look just like the wag aero valves I bought for my cub wing tanks

I agree they look to be the same valve, I guess you are paying $100 for the PMA and the main tank shutoff they manufacture the screen that is attached so $$.
