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 was sceptical of using an online business outside the US. Felt better about using a PayPal option, but still worried something would " go wrong". I couldnt find this part anywhere else except Generator Guru, so I took a chance. Im glad I did. With Hurricane Sandy bearing down on the US I knew it might take a while from Great Britain to Ohio through a battered East Coast of the US. It took more time to arrive because of this, but an email question of shipment was answered prompty and 4 days later the exact part I needed arrived. I will not hesitate to use this Company again and recommend it highly, especially for impossible parts to find in the US. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Great Service, Great Selection, and Im very satisfied
really helpfull, called me to check i had the right part, and i didnt !, saved a lot of messing about later, wouls deff buy again
