Diversion 900 fuel tap Oct 26, 2008 11:13:34 GMT

Yesterday I removed the fuel tank to check the condition of the air filter. When I removed the fuel pipe from the tank fuel came pouring out ( only a bit) as I hadn't turned the tap off! I could swear that my Divvy had a vacuum tap which only let fuel out as it was required? Now I'm wondering if I have a fault with the fuel tap and need to replace it/ overhaul it. Any thoughts, is this just normal or should it be vacuum operated only?

Ready to be corrected however Dave
