Cub has a six-gallon aux. fuel tank in left wing, installed in 1983. Form 337 says the tank is Wag Aero part no. E454-001. Valve is so stiff now as to be unusable; mechanic has tried unsuccessfully to loosen it. I have emailed Wag Aero to find out what the standard replacement valve is since that part number turns up blank in the Wag Aero online catalog.

Someone suggested I replace it with a nylon valve, but I have no idea where to find one, or even if that's a good idea!

Suggestions gratefully accepted. Thank you. John

P.S. Cub is standard category, not experimental.
