For some reason my mind jumped to think Boyd's tap was the the Pull-Push type which can also have a reserve tap opposite the main one and is fitted with a cork too. Hopefully I was right but not sure now.... I was forgetting that perhaps Boyd might have had the more common slide type. If it was this type shown below which as far as I know can have a rubber neoprene seal fitted

Both types can be adjusted for sealing pressure. The Pull-push type has the cork fitted over a screw with a plain round head which by twisting with pliers can squash the cork to fatten it and create a better seal. The screw can also be completely removed to fit the cork . The slide type is adjusted by tightening the inner nuts.....Les

You can get the slide type tap with Teflon discs inside, they seem so far for me to be very good, in all temperatures too! ( snow falling today!!!) Only problem seems to be that they have round knobs each side, so I just bent them on and set them (PTFE and Fibre washer) so, on, is pull to the 'outside'

I always use black pipe specifically for petrol as otherwise it can rot very quickly. 6mm is a good size for nominal 1/4". The pipe usually comes with writing on it which is easily removed with a wipe of cellulose thinners.
