ok, done laughing?

im going to setup my tank for petcock(s). i have the tanner tank. i think he gave me 2 places to mount up the petcocks. any reason why i should use 2, one on each side, or one single one with 2 outlets?

anyone got a place to buy em?

also, anyone got any 35mm fork tube clamps? proflos out.

Years ago, when I was running my Ducati 250, I put on a scrambler tank that only had 1 petcock. It wouldn't run at full throttle even when I left out the main jet. The single Ducati petcock just didn't flow enough.
I use delrin double sealing quick connectors that I get from McMaster Carr.

Frank...maybe I've never gotten the right ones but whenever I use those quick disconnects, after a couple times on and off they are a real bitch to plug in and pull part. I used to have to keep putting grease on them.

JB,
You need to change to O rings to viton rings. The ones that are on them seem to swell up a bit in gas.
