I find that the Saf-Air CAV-110s are a pain. They like to leak after use.
I have replaced the O-ring with one made of Viton, which has helped, but am
put off using them for fear that one day (especially when on a trip) they
will prove impossible to reseat. Duncan McF.>>>>>>>
Hi Duncan,
I have CAV-110 drain valves on the two water drains from the fuel tank and also
---From the bowl drain of my Andair gascolator. I found that fine debris from
the
Andair caused the O-ring seal on that drain valve to leak. After replacing this
O-ring several times, I have now fitted one of the Europa supplied in-line
Purolator fuel filters between the gascolator and the CAV-110. Result is - no
more leaks. I have never experienced problems with the drain valves from the
main fuel tank.
Cheers, John
