    I have a spare African Queens fuel tap available for £42 delivered to your door if you're interested.
    This will give you a fuel light so that you can see when you're low on fuel.
    PM if you are interested, I have 2 left.

    Tap is fitted back to front. Paddle should face forward when fuel is off, down for on and up for reserve. I think.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    Its integral to the tap.
    Its a complete replacement unit.
    See the separate thread on it in the AT forum.
