Alky Purge Vavle Setup

[BigRed350x]

Alright got this awesome little valve (not really a valve, but a 5-way T) from majicperformance. Its set up so you can run your pingle outputs and your race gas purge tank all into one, and have it all flow out to the carbs. I tried to make a small aluminum tank I could mount permanently to my bars and put my purge gas in when needed, but ended up making it too big. So I ran down to our local out-doors store and bought a 16oz nalgene bottle and drilled a hole in the bottom for a barb fitting. Epoxied it in there. Now I'm trying to figure out a place I can mount the bottle and keep it on the red banshee. It won't have race gas it it until I'm ready to purge, so it will just be empty when I'm running methanol. When you are ready to purge you just shut off your pingle and fill the remote 16oz tank with race gas and run the bike until the methanol is out of the system.

 

I just wanted to show the little 5-way T I got from mike at majicperformance. Its an awesome little setup and really high quality. I suggest it to anyone who's running alky.

 

Hit up majicperformance for prices and availability.

 

Thanks guys!

Here's the T

 

Here's my purge tank. (still trying to find a place I can mount it... thinking about the side of the radiator plastics)

 

Here's how I installed the fitting down by the carbs. You can see the two lines comming from the pingle and the two going to the carbs and the last line goes up under the plastics up to above the bars for now.

 

Here's the resevoir attached to the 5th hose.

 

Another shot of the install.

 

Last one.

Looks kinda garbled up, too many hoses. I prefer to use THIS. Inline tee after the shutoff and place the hoses on the carbs. Hang the bottle off the bars and let her rip. Takes less than 5mins to complete the entire task.

I have seen those before but didn't figure that would be how you would hook it up. Is that the way they told you to route your lines? The reason I ask is because the way you ran your pingle into the block you are running two in to one then splitting back to two. I would think that defeats the purpose of feeding each carb independently to keep from running out of alcohol. I figured you would run both lines off your pingle into one side of the block and run the two lines out the other side to the carbs that way you wouldn't be reducing down to one then back to two. Then I figured the one on the end is the one your purge bottle would hook to.

LOL, didn't think of it like that! I will try and switch it around and see how that works. ROFL I just threw it in there to see how it would look more than anything right now. The tank is bone dry, as are the carbs. Ha Ha!

 

Good call!

That's what mike suggested to me, but I like to give my stuff those little personal touches and felt that having a translucent container for my purge container would give it that touch.

 

I changed the T around like you suggested. Looks like it would work better than how I had it hooked up. Good Call again!
