Here's a page with the valve I used. I need to tell you that I changed out the plastic filter with a metal, NAPA # 3031, fuel filter for obvious reasons. I also insulated the filter with a piece of thin rubber mat from the frame. Secured it with tie wraps around the filter. I didn't like metal to metal. Also, this week I changed out the metal NAPA filter after 2 1/2 yrs and the plastic ball valve worked as it should. Saved a big mess!
