I think this was the part they sent me in the mail (as you have said no shipping to Canada, but worth a try). HTH [Reply]  [No Email]

If you open the sediment bowl valve 2 turns (no more, no less) as the manual says, it will provide 9 gallons of gas. If you want to get that extra (reserve) gallon, open the valve all the way. All of this assumes: 1. You have the OEM style sediment bowl. 2. The lower orifice on the sediment bowl standpipe is not clogged (and they usually are). The OEM bowl is on the left in the pic. The others are off-shore junk. 75 Tips [Reply]  [No Email]

My manual does not say anything about how to set the reserve using the valve. I also have a Jubilee it has the round valve handle. My 8n has the lever. I have never moved it and have been runnig out of gas with about 1.5 inches of gas in the tank. Thanks again. [Reply]  [No Email]

As old & I both said.......it needs to be the OEM sediment bowl to have a reserve. Look at the picture. The OEM bowl has a knob, not a lever. 75 Tips [Reply]  [No Email]

I've never seen one w/ a lever that had a reserve. The ones in the pic have a pipe plug on them as well for use on the Fergusons. [Reply]  [No Email]
