I have not received a response from them either. I notice a small seep when I initially select a tank but it doesn't continue after a selection has been made.

Take a look at Univair.
www.univair.com

They advertise a Left, Right, Off valve as a replacement in the Cessna 140/120.

I see that. We wouldn't be doing our due diligence as "cheap skate pilots" , as Paul Bertorelli says, if we didn't look into every option.

Also look at Aircraft Spruce, they sell the same valve also(plus others). Rather pricey in some minds, but affordable compared to the cost of the airplane in today's prices.
