Help installing Pingel
I've searched around and haven't been able to find a definitive answer on this...
Trying to replace a stock petcock on my Fatboy with the Pingel I bought. How do I plug the vacuum line?
Pingel instructions say to plug it at the T-connection. Which if I'm understanding correctly is underneath and between the two tanks. Do I need to remove one of the tanks to get under there?
Or do I plug it at the back of the carb? And if so, do I need to remove the right tank to get back there?

Pull off the right tank.
Remove rubber hose from top of carb to include the t junction, the piece of hose that went to your old petcock, and the VOES.
Get a new rubber line and run it from carb to VOES.
Don't cap anything.

Always a complication...
Apparently I overtightened the acorn nut on my tank console, so now it won't come off...which means I can't get the right tank off. I'll probably have to Dremel the nut off, but it's not sounding like dealers have a replacement screw & nut in stock here.
And I've got an overnight trip I'm supposed to leave on tomorrow morning.
If I cap the line with a screw or something would that work until I can get the tank off and follow the procedure mentioned by TXHill? Or am I asking for trouble by doing that?
