Is that a Pingel in your pocket or are you 754?

My original. Thought was to eliminate one barb with a stainless pipe plug..this would make the two out let's closer together..rather than 180 degrees apart that duals have. Having the two closer together could learn ok cleaner
.. The triple outlet, does not have a reserve, and the alloy tank I want this for, only holds about 9 litres.
.. And then I thought of running a clear line of outlet three for a fuel visiguage..

 If you ever drain your tank using stock petcock it takes like 20 minutes, seems like forever.. With a PINGEL it takes like 2 or 3..

Looking good - but what are you going to do with it? Have you bought an SOHC triple?

See above.  I think he's thinking of running a dual output with the third to a sight glass gauge.

or do like me, open lid, insert lit cigarette until it is extinguished, the lower down in the tank it goes out, the more gas I need :P

My VF500F has one BIG outlet on a vacuum petcock.   The other day after some tank off service I had difficulty getting the fuel line re-attached and knocked the line off without noticing while installing the tank, cranked the engine, and instantly found myself standing in a very large puddle of gasoline. :o

This, if I understand visiguage correctly!

The triple guys are the main users, I would think..need an adaptor..
...drawback no reserve..not so bad on an SOHC, but I bet it ducks on a two stroke.. The h2 guys said they never could drain a tank so fast as with the PINGEL.
  Honestly,  I bid on one thinking. Way less bidders than a two outlet, and I can plug one.. But 120 degree apart would look cleaner than 180. IMO...

I like the petcock on my H1 - vacuum operated.  I dont even bother to turn it off, leaks have not been an issue.  I need reserve so I'd pass....
