Dan Marc questions

[JimC]

Ok, I have searched he archives and did not find the answer I was looking for.

I will be installing a Dan Marc this spring. The question I have is which one?

Looking at the list http://www.danmarcrvparts.com/12vofuva.html of shut offs, I am worried about the small orifice's in the model 151 and 112. a .156 orifice and a .100 orifice seems very small to me. I know that others have used them successfully, but I still worry.

I have been thinking of using the AFC-161 instead because I like the fact that the inlet and outlet are at 90*,  straight down from the tank, then straight to the carb lines should help with the kinking fuel line problem several others have had.

I see no mention of an orifice on model 161, so it seems that it is a full flow through the valve?

It is still the same electrical draw at 1 amp or less,  

Plus, I like the fact that the 3/8 pipe thread will give a more natural flow, similar in size to the standard fuel line.

I am not worried about the cost difference because like most, when it comes to the Valk, only the best will do. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks, Jim

PS I will be changing the shut off, more on that later if my plan works, if my plan does not work I will go to the pingle.

I think it was Kingbee who had posted before that he used the Dan Marc, I search and printed the page so I wouldn't loose it before I need it.

I have item # 79-AFC11112 printed up. This was the one I was going to add in.

Yes, that's the one you want, it's model #111 and works fine. Had mine installed over three years now with no problem. I also installed a Pingel manual petcock and an inline filter at the same time. When doing so, be certain your fuel line is always running "downhill." I've had mine well into triple digits and it never bogged down from starvation.

With Thanks to Oyeaa for originally posting this, I like the AFC Model 152 a lot better than the Model 111 that many have used. The Model 152 has a built in filter and a magnetic particle trap.
