Hey Matt,
Triumph needed to do something with their stock petcock. It was a POS. Had my tank off for a valve adjustment and gas had pooled under the tank. The dealer didn't notice it when they adjusted 5 valves out of specs. Grr. Oops, don't want to denigrate this thread into a dealer rant.
Maybe the hole issue is just what Pat is trying to figure out. Yet it doesn't seem right that Triumph would retool for a tank due to a change in their 5 dollar petcock supplier. Seems more like Pingel has different specs for different models. A cross reference melee so to say. As we have round ones, eight sided ones, six sided ones, chrome ones, aluminIum ones, and hopefully no french (spit) ones.
