Seized deck fitting fresh water filler (alloy)

[Refueler]

Doubt if OP would be willing to pay $229 for a deck fill. Could buy four of the stainless deck fills for that price.

There are also GFN versions ... (Glass filled nylon) ..... far cheaper ...

Sorry have to agree as well .....

Taking blunt force trauma to it was not really way to go ....

I considered it as good therapy

The Oscalti fitting suggested by Nigel1 is on its was and at £45 hopefully a bargain. I did ses the one in the US, I wonder how much more for carriage and import tax?

An hour with a psychiatrist or engineer would have been cheaper and possibly more beneficial.

Not sure how it could have been cheaper, the fitting was beyond repair. An professional engineer had looked at it and it was he that concluded that something had been picked up in the threads causing the it to seize, it had started to unscrew then failed, so written off at that point.

Quite happy to end the the thread....
