Bansh-eman Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 anyone have any issues with thier pingle just barely leaking when the bike sits? every night my vavle seems to drip a tiny amount on my jugs. I can wipe the fluid off and the next day it will be back. iit shouldnt be around where it seats becasue i have teflon tape and its on there pretty freakin tight. Quote
jbooker82 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 No mine is dry. That is going to be a pain after enough oil builds up. Look like crap. josh Quote
XxMeltIcexX Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 mine does as well, not enoguh to notice tho, i'm waiting to get a dual pingel so f it til i replace it. Quote
J-Madd Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 It takes a ton of teflon tape to seal completely. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Posted February 13, 2008 It takes a ton of teflon tape to seal completely. i put like 2 or 3 wraps on it and threaded it in. i might take her out after this pres weekend trip. its not enough to worry with right now. i just keep a rag under it so the one or two drip per day go there instead of my jugs.

Mine does the exact same thing. My tank is empty right now and I'm going to pull it off tomarrow and put an ass-load of teflon tape on it and see what it does. I've been trying to iron out all the little stupid kinks that piss me off before easter weekend rolls around. I hate having a nasty engine from little drips and leaks and stuff. Grrr. lol - Jared Quote
FireHead Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Y'all need to try loc-tite thread sealant in stead of teflon tape (neither of my Pingel valves leak by the way). Otherwise penecilin will clear that drip right up. :biggrin: Quote
