Male fixing - screws into the tank (fuel tank thread inside tank) then seals the O-Ring by tightening the secondary nut. Sometimes this can get broken off in the tank (see advice below). The Male also has a small nut at the top that is thinner than the 2 fixings on the on/off switch plate. Click on option above to see picture.
Female fixing - screws onto the tank (fuel tank thread protrudes from tank) using the large nut on the petcock to attach and seal the O-Ring. The female version had a large wide nut at the top, when undone, shows the tank has threads protruding from the tank. (This can be seen on the home screen of our video below.)

Generator Guru says:
This are a common item to need replacing due to the exposed location of the part. We often hear that something has knocked it, resulting in a leaky, or broken Fuel Tap Petcock.
If you have had a Male Petcock break off with the stem still in the tank, use a pair of needle nose pliers and insert into the stem. Open the pliers up, and unscrew. It should release without damaging the tank. Be careful not to damage the thread on the tank, or you will need to replace the whole tank.

I made a mistake at first of buying a cheaper valve which although half the price was also a fraction of the quality, and broke off in the tank as I tightened it. This one is what I should have ordered in the beginning, and does the job perfectly, learning my lesson the hard way.
Easy to find on the website with helpful info. Speedy delivery. Thanks
Even better than original.
I have used your services previously, so it would be fair to say I was a satisfied returning customer. I don't think there is a great deal I can say about the product, it was very suitable for the job at the right price. What was outstanding was the speed with which the item arrived, and I thank your for that.
My brother was looking for a replacement fuel tap, for a generator he had and I came across your site. Had right part at a good price with a really fast delivery, it was up and running in no time.
Glad I came upon your web sight. My old fuel valve was clogged with old fuel and now it's working.
I am very satisfied and if I need anything else I will go straight to generator guru
