#144852 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3209 Re:Fuelcocks 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Yep Doc I remember you mentioning that .where was the leak problem...Also do the threads show after tightening it down I spun the mounting plate seems like less than half way easily and then it stopped .The threads look fine I just do not want to force it if I don't need to.This was before adding any Teflon tape as well. I do need to reread the instructions as well because in one line it said to not use Teflon tape then further down it says wrap it at least 2 times like I said I will reread before doing it I am still grinding and doing honey-do's this morning . Any input you guys can toss out would be appreciated .I hope to have this done by Christmas ....my wife has other thoughts I think ...Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #144864 Frank_W (User) Riding The Filthy Sow!

Telfon tape does not play nice with gas; don't use it. There are gas resistance liquid thread sealers. The mounting plate does not side flush against the tank and I've had problems sealing it.

Doc Mine came with a packet of sealer that goes on all 4 mating surfaces that cures for 10 minutes before installing the valve. I am also doing a little light sanding on the painted surface to help the seal.I have some touch up paint that I will use when I finish ...is this new or is it probably the same old thing as I will go get something better if needed and as for the Teflon tape I remember using it on a 4bbl I rebuilt one time and it kinda turned to butter ...Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #144925 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3209 Re:Fuelcocks 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Flashback wrote: I have a question, in the pic, the outlet on the pingle looks smaller than the stocker...

Anyway, I've noticed with my stock fuelcock, it's been "sticking" when turning on the fuel. It's a bit difficult to turn it on from a fully closed position. Has anyone had an issue with the aftermarkets doing this?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #144929 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17482 Re:Fuelcocks 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Cougar wrote: Mine came with a packet of sealer that goes on all 4 mating surfaces that cures for 10 minutes before installing the valve.

Flash the effluent pipe is 1 millimeter smaller .The filter itself is mesh like and if held to the light you can see the squares defined so it should allow more flow going out of the tank than the oem valve filters as they are designed to stop smaller particles thus allowing less gas flow and with a 1/4" outlet into the 5/16ths feed line should have a little Venturi effect so we will see.I also checked the part # to make sure I got the right one .If I get enough time and the right attitude I might run a flow test before the final connections and will have a little more time to think about it as well....Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #144981 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3209 Re:Fuelcocks 3 Years, 2 Months ago   DocShadow wrote: Cougar wrote: Mine came with a packet of sealer that goes on all 4 mating surfaces that cures for 10 minutes before installing the valve.
