When you have 5 people telling you to get a Pingle and 0 people telling you anything else then you might want to listen.

If you don't Doc will give you a great big "I told you so"!!!!!!!!!

I have never sold used parts for new price!!!!


FWIW depending on where the hole is for the petcock is on your tanks I was gonna donate it to you as I won't be able to use it on my tanks because the outlet is pointing in the wrong direction.

After several different brands of petcocks, I ended up getting the Pingle because all the others were crap.

Save yourself the frustration and get the Pingle right away.

Everyone I hang out with does, maybe I'm odd man out here. I also submit that anyone that has a brake bleeder setup also has one. Or anyone that has small children or grandchildren, the medicine syringes for munchkins pull great vacuum.

Beat me to it. I drain vacuum petcock tanks through the petcock and a long hose by putting a Mity Vac on the vacuum line. Very, very easy.
