And now, a
word rant about petcocks, for these parts just arrived in the mail today:
That there is a Golan "Click-Slick" petcock and Bung King 22mm late-model HD-style 22mm threaded tank bung. And a fuel filter. Some may disagree, but the Golan is essentially a differently-styled Pingle, with positive detents. It's solid brass, made in America, and yes, it costs a fuckload of money (at least for such a rather small and unassuming piece of kit). With this, and the two on
my cafe, I am now in the ridiculous position of having spent more on petcocks than on all of the many tanks I've bought for all my projects. Combined.
Why? Because cheap NPT petcocks leak, fail, never point the right way, are hard to adjust, are often ugly, and fussy to use. I'd rather work a little harder/longer, make/save a little more money, and keep buying these great petcocks rather than suffer with another marginal compromise. Yes, you have to weld a new bung into the tank, but once you're done, you're done.
Okay, rant over; let's drink:
Wild, yeasty, fruity, and a touch of d'funk. Probably have to let this one bottle-age awhile for the full effect, but thirst trumps patience today...
