Q:

Tank Tools

Looking for a link to two tools:

1. Face Spanner Wrench for Brass Bottle insert
2. Spanner wrench for removing entire valve from tank

I have done both of these with improvised tools, but I would sure love to have true fitting tools to make this job clean and not mar any surfaces.

That valve removal tool looks very easy to make in my lathe. Pin Wrench is a bit more difficult though.

😀

Yours must not have been on there all that tight. 😯

thank you 😉

5/16″ Drill Rod. I could work on the “bend” a bit and make it hold against the throat of the valve. I may do this and will post updated Photos, but it seems to work very well to remove the valve without damage from a Pipe Wrench.

Let me get a photo and I’ll post it

quote RickBSC:

Found this to fit the Spanner hole on the Tank Valve perfectly.

Heated it, bent it to look like a typical Spanner Wrench.

Works great for removing the main tank valve assembly.

Now to make a Face Spanner for the Brass portion.

whats “this”? could you perhaps illustrate?
