Before you mutilate any innocent petcocks, be aware that these fittings can be purchased in the plumbing department of any Home Depot near you:
Hey Wheelman, my petcock wasnt so innocent. You have ever have your 15 year old daughter get mad at you because she had to pull off to the side of the road and suck on the vacuum hose to get some fuel? LOL
I wanted my fuel NOW, no ands, ifs, or buts. I wanted to eliminate all possibilities of standing my 15 year kid. :wink:

Filtration

Greetings:

The filter flowed. Fine. Replaced by smaller mineral cone type for other reasons.

Hmm daughter stranded by dry Spree bowl = Dad in doghouse.

Update: I had to remove the aftermarket filter. For some reason it decided to become a restriction.
