Hi i am replacing the gas valve on a gas tank maccsteam i think, Can i use a blower valve or a globe valve screwed directly into the gas tank i
do not see any specific gas valves for sale in steam fittings, regards Allan.

Bonjour Allan,In theory, you could but to my opinion a blower valve works in the wrong direction and could possibly leak if the pressure raises.
About globe valves, much more concerns because, based on my experience, 99,99 % of them have even very small leaks, and gas allows 0 % leak.
In France, we commonly use manufactured valves as "Legris" ones fo example : https://youtu.be/eez9ACLowcQ
Besides this; my mechanic friends also like using Schrader  valves https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=valves+schrader found on car inner tubes.
Hope that will help you

Clevedon steam for this sort of thing. Jerry knows his business and will definitely help you out. Do not put the wrong type of valve in a gas line
