I'm New Here
My RV9A is now about 10 years old and has 650 hours. I have never had to do anything with the fuel selector.... until now.
I have a fuel smell in the cockpit. I cannot find any leaks in the fuel lines but a fuel "sniffer" beeps like crazy when I point it at the fuel selector. I have also noticed that I don't get a discernable "click" when I change tanks.
Is this "fixable" with "O" ring replacement or is it time for a new one. Also, do Van's new generation selector valves fit into the earlier generation plumbing? I do NOT want to rerun and rebend fuel lines.
