Pingel Install

[pais]

  Good morning all, I was perusing the search engine. Could not find what I was looking for. Curious if there is any tips, tricks or warnings, for when I change stock PC to a Pingel? Seems like I've seen little bits and pieces while reading some posts. Nothing really definitive. Is it so simple I'm worried about nothing?

Pretty much plug and play. The Pingle has 5/16" outlet while the fuel line is 8mm. 

Part of your pre-flight/post-flight mental check list will be to now turn on and then turn off the fuel. Thats probably the hardest thing for most folks to do when making this change.

There are a few things. The reserve fuel will be smaller than the stock. You can extend the tube a little to fix that. Make sure that the tank filter fits in snug. There are endless threads on replacing the petcock, just need to start your search on the main tech page

All sounds normal to me, remember to turn it off each time you stop.
