Post by: Cunningham_821 on April 17, 2014, 06:27:42 pm: Yes please read origional post I know all about the petcock mod. Maybe ill put in a 1/4 I.d. barbed fitting and just forget about a shut-off. Ill just pinch fuel line or drain tank at the end of the night.

You'd be best off finding a Pingle or something to mount to your tank

Post by: Cunningham_821 on April 17, 2014, 02:54:42 pm: My thing is the flow rate. You think it will flow enough. I was thinking they are cheap maybe I could try to drill one out as big as I can get it.

Title: petcock questions
Post by: Cunningham_821 on April 16, 2014, 05:50:10 pm: So I got the new 2 qt fuel tank mounting mocked up the problem is im not gonna be able to use the stock petcock the tank is made to use a 1/8 inch petcock but i dont think its gonna flow enough. Im wondering what some thoughts are I thought about just using a barbed fitting and perhaps a inline shut-off any idea's???? On a bright note I lost over 3 lbs and lost thats massive stock fuel tank with a nice little clean one.
