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  :-))
