Gas Tank Check Valve

1994 Views 11 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  Elwarpo
I need to replace my gas tank skid plate and forgot to disconnect this valve (roll over valve?), it leads to the evap area and has "ROV" embossed on the gas tank. Does anyone have any intel on replacing this? The numbers are 051234AC but they don't really produce any results online.

Reaearch suggests that its non-replaceable so I going to drill it out to 5/32 and link the two pieces with brass tubing and epoxy.

If you have the other piece, use gas tank sealant and put them back together, or you could do what you said. Whatever you think is easier.

Pricey, but the aftermarket aluminum tanks and skids packaged come with new valves. Genright has a bunch of tanks.

You cuold call Genright and ask if they would sell just the valve. Maybe they would sell it. I know the factory pieces are hard to find. The other option is to call the jeep-only junk yards

Drilled out the tank end the length of the tube to 5/32, got a 5/32 OD brass tube for $1.99 and cut a small piece nice and slow with a pipe cutter. Lightly sanded the brass tube and drill out 5/32 plus chamfered the ends just a little. Test fit then cleaned everything with alcohol or cleaning liquor for some ;). Used JB weld quick epoxy and slid the brass into the tank, nice tight fit. then I painted the brass with epoxy and mated the pieces. Wiped away excess. I'll probably paint the crack tomorrow with epoxy also. Here to no CELs.

Hind sight - I could probably gone up a size in brass tube but I wanted to remove as little material as possible. At the crack its 5/32 and tapers out the end see photo.
