| Subject: | Sump Drain valve for 680F |
The last time I drained fuel from the center tank sump, the valve did not
close completely and fuel continued to drip overboard. After opening and
closing several times, the dripping stopped. I have not opened the valve
since, for fear of it sticking open again. Has anybody experienced this
situation..?? I was unable to identify the valve in my parts manual. Is it
the same in all Commanders..?? I may need a replacement valve. Anyone have
one..?? Thanks.

Randy,
This valve (the twist valve that you access through the small door under
the wing) looks suspiciously like the Eelco valve that I used to shut
off the fuel in my D Altered 57 Chevy. Drag Car equipped with early
Hilborn Injectors in about 1972. Meaning that it was military surplus.
Most likely the valve needs to be removed and new "o" rings installed.
You are correct that the valve is not listed in the Commander parts
book, which is a very good thing..........................
Regards.
