Sources of fuel system parts

[TonyS]

I would like to replace the present fuel shut off valve as it clogs with small quantities of debris before it gets to the pre-filter. Volvo have suggested a ball valve.
The 10 mm OD steel pipes with their compression nut and olives appear through the bulkhead and the flexible fuel pipes are crimped in an inaccessible place on the back. It would be convenient to use a valve with the same thread and olives. Can anyone suggest a supplier. Other threads mention suppliers to truck manufacturers but how does one search these? Also can gas and oil resistant shut off valves, as supplied by Screw Fix, be used? Any help would be appreciated.

..or if you want to take your existing parts into somewhere local and make sure that the new parts match.. try Hyphose in Millbrook.

They tend to have most fuel and air type hoses and fittings in stock.
