pimpeinkc Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 (edited) here are some pic's of a stock fuel valve "petcock" which i modified to with a piece of brass tubeing, a feral , a drill bit, and some J-B weld. no need to buy the 80 dollar one when you can make your own in like a half hour. and with money you save you could buy some race fuel!

fixitrod Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Are you able to open the fuel circuit inside the petcock to accomodate the extra fuel flow? Good concept you have their though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB3 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 looks sweet to me ill let you know how it works on my bike pimpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpeinkc Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 you have options, the inside of the valve is wide open and should not need any thing done to it, how ever if you feel you need the extra flow... there is an option..... if you take the little tab stop on the face plate off the valve you can turn the valve to the 3 o'clock position which will allow both the main and reserve holes to recive fuel. but i think it should do fine with out that option.

fixitrod Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I just don't know how big the hole is for the fuel to flow. I know I cut those little filters off mine a long time ago and run an inline filter. I just didn't look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpeinkc Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 if you cut the little stop off the face plate you will then be able to turn the valve so that the main and the reserve holes are lined up with the inlets, by doing this you will have twice the flow through the valve, that is the only "BOTTLE NECK" to speak of and with both holes that open to the take taking fuel you would not have any problems.

grpark20 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I know this thread is old as hell...but the search worked so here's the question....any one else been able to make this work with the stock petcock....all this talk I here about the dual pingel is that the flow is nice but the craftsmanship and quality isn't worth the $$$$. Also looking at possibly putting another petcock on the other side of tank....tips or suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Sanchez Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I will try to find it for you. But i have seen an aftermarket tank that has two valves on it. (1 on each side) It was a couple hundred bucks. let me see what i can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looking at possibly putting another petcock on the other side of tank....tips or suggestions? the craftsmanship is fine.Just the rubber gasket is so thick you cant tighten it very much or the gasket will leak. You need to use Yamabond on it and it will be just great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grpark20 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the info so far.....anyone tried the dual feed pingel with reserve....In case you can't tell, the losing reserve is kind of the only thing holding me back from getting a pingel. I know I could just keep a watchfull eye on the tank, but to me that seems like a nusance to me. To date I've only needed reserve once. How does the saying go....I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. It's not 100% needed, just cheap insurance flow wise. If I can mod a stock petcock enough to efficiently flow a little more with 2 lines, I'll go that route. As far as putting another petcock on the other side of the tank????? someones had to of done it? Issues? Sealing? Mounting? Sorry for the rambling on.
