The 101 Octane Fuel Tap (MPN: 724.06.17) is an essential replacement component designed for scooter and motorcycle enthusiasts who require a reliable, vacuum-controlled fuel delivery system for metal tanks. Its primary benefit is the integrated pre-filter tube that safeguards your engine from debris, though users should note that the M16 x 1.5 thread pitch is specific and requires confirmation of compatibility with their existing tank fitting before purchase.

This model uses a standard M16 x 1.5 screw connection.
No, this specific model is designed for use with metal fuel tanks.
Vacuum taps provide an automatic shut-off function, preventing fuel from flowing into the carburetor when the engine is not running.
You can verify the vacuum line by disconnecting it at the tap and checking for suction while the engine is being cranked.
The filter is integrated into the assembly; if it becomes permanently clogged, the entire tap assembly should be replaced.
Check that the vacuum line is securely attached and not kinked or leaking.
Verify the sealing washer is present and the unit is tightened sufficiently; check the tank threads for damage.
Ensure the fuel line is not pinched and that the integrated pre-filter is not clogged with tank sediment.
Before installation, ensure the fuel tank is empty to prevent spills. Remove the old fuel tap and inspect the tank opening for any remaining gasket material or debris to ensure a flat seating surface for the new O-ring or seal. Thread the unit carefully by hand to avoid cross-threading the M16 x 1.5 port. Once snug, use a proper wrench to tighten, but avoid overtightening which may crack the housing or strip the tank threads. Regularly inspect the vacuum line for signs of dry rot or cracking, as a compromised vacuum line will lead to performance issues or failure to start.
