I ordered a gasoline tank shut off valve from Classic Parts USA. Its a 90 degree "needle valve" with 1/8 NPT threads going into the tank and a 1/4 inch compression fitting threads going to the gas line. I'm thinking that this valve should be a "ball valve" instead with NPT threads on each end for use with gasoline. Would this be a better solution? Bear in mind that my truck came with a shut off valve and I want to keep it that way. Not sure that it came with a needle valve off the 1946 production line. Any commits?
