Needle Valve Extension Tips

Needle Valve Extension Tips
(1) Extend your needle valve’s reach with some surgical rubber fuel line. (2) Butt a suitable length of dowel (a) against the end of the needle valve—perhaps securing it with a dab of CA or hot glue—and cover the whole assembly with a piece of heat-shrink tubing (b).
