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.

It tool longer to remove the broken tap than to install the new one.
The shipping and delivery was great, part arrived at the time expected, works well. Thanks.
Part arrived yesterday, installed today. Perfect replacement for my fuel valve. Now ready for the next big storm.
In the States we call this a petcock. Screwed right on, no leaks, no problems. Arrived two days after placing order as promised.
The part came on time and was the right one. I was really surprised I ordered from the UK. I'd use this company again.
so pleased with product works perfect, fitted in no time at all,could not beleive the speedy delivery time,absolutely brilliant a lesson for other companies.
Not only did Generator Guru send the right part but they also did it in record time. From Britain to my mailbox in Kingston Nova Scotia in less than 1 week. Amazing service!!!! Thanks!!!
Product was as described and exactly what I needed. The remarkable thing is that I ordered on May 1, late at night and it was delivered here (southern Mo.)on May 8. I have more problems ordering parts across town. Great service!
Received item in timely fashion & well packaged. Product came with rubber O ring seal, so I used the rubber washer seal. Perfect fit and seal. Generator Guru were great to deal with.
