New pingel tap

Z.O.A · #1 PostAuthor: **Z.O.A** » Thu Jun 04, 2009 1:15 pm

Got my new pingel fuel tap in the post today, opened the pack and discovered it only has one outlet instead of two, as the 26mm carbs on the A4 are duel feed, I know it's a high flow tap but I presume it should still have two outlets for proper flow instead of me having to put a splitter in the line :?:

.
I'm guessing quiet a few people on here have them fitted so any advice appreciated, should I send it back or would it be ok to use :?:

Yep, that's the one I presumed I was getting, I did ask at the time if it was a duel outlet one they had, I see now after searching the forums that everyone uses Debben, should have looked before buying :roll:

I will get in touch with Straightline, who I bought it off and see what they say.

Just put a tee piece in the fuel line as the flow from a single outlet Pingel is more than adequate for a standard Z engine.

Hello Z.O.A, As Steve Cooke has replied a single feed will be capable of supplying enough fuel, but if you would prefer a twin feed then we have them, Regards, Steve

Thanks for replies lads, Steve, I was looking at putting a splitter in the line but space between the feed to carbs 1&2 and the tap is limited and unless I used a very roundabout fuel line set up I would have to ditch the inline filter.
Straightline said it was no problem anyway and that they will change the tap for dual feed.

Steve (Debben1), thanks very much, I would have gotten it from you but I was unaware at the time, I do see that you also do the proper lectron fuel hose tho so I will give ya a call to order some of that.
Thanks again. :wink:

Guys, on the topic (just), I would be pleased to find out about "Lectron" fuel line... Is it a special composition?

I've read that it's more flexible and easier to route than the standard type fuel hose you get.

If its the soft yellow/green pipe.... its good stuff..... but clings to the spigot & is hard to remove without cutting it off.... :!:

I tried that Lectron hose ....was told it will stay clear & soft !!!!!
After 9mths it went as hard as F**k & had to be cut off the connectors
