Alternative to Pingel Petcock - Golan

[Sodbuster]

Now, first of all I'm not a Golan salesman or anything like that. I've noticed a lot of talk of people using a Pingel but I'm thinking a petcock with detents would be nice to have when reaching under the tank to change position.  I contacted Golan Products about comparing their product with a Pingel. Here is what they sent me.  It's strange there is talk of a stainless steel ball bearing but I don't see it in the pic.  They mention "Second Generation" and claim 112 oz. per minute.  Also, not sure what they are referring to about setting the "Reserve". Comments or Feedback ??



THE CLICK-SLICK Ball Bearing Petcock

GOLAN PRODUCTS introduces the worlds first BALL BEARING petcock with detent's for quick, effortless switching from “ON” to “RESERVE” to “OFF”.  You can now switch petcock positions with confidence, each position having it’s own, easy to feel detent, O-Ring seat secure any leak from petcock to carburetor, Petcock handle motion is virtually friction free using internal ball bearing which reduce the effort needed to move the lever. The 90 degrees movement between each detent ensures positive transition when riding without a distracting glance at the petcock. Each valve position is firmly held in place unaffected by vibration until the rider makes a change. This second generation gas petcock can be modified to fit custom tanks and be set to determine the amount of “RESERVE” gas available with virtually any custom gas tank. The ball bearings completely eliminate traditional rough, sticky or frozen valve action. Constructed from 360 Brass and stainless steel ball bearing, polished and show chromed, built to last a lifetime.

That thing really looks nice I would try it. You set your reserve by the length of the tube you can set it to different heights and therefore different reserves. The ball seals the fuel flow and from the looks could flow as much as they say. Its not 2 in the pic just the guts and the housing.

I don't have experience with Golan petcocks, but I can say that their fuel filters are beautifully made and will flow all the fuel a Valk can use.
