• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Connecting the reserve portion of the tank?

I have recently had to replace my fuel petcock and the only one I found that fits the tank was a single exit one.

No problem, I thought, I'll simply use a T piece to connect the reserve side of the line to the main fuel hose.

Since there isn't a direct route which doesn't make the hose kink I have to have a piece of hose looping around from the petcock to the carb inlet.

Without the reserve line from the other side of the tank plumbed in, this works fine.

However, I guess when the reserve line is plumbed in it is taking the pressure away from the fuel as it flows from the tank, around the loop and into the carb because with the petcock on it doesn't start and idle, it only runs when I have the second reserve petcock from the left hand side of the tank switched on.

This is my current setup:

Has anyone else had to replace the original twin outlet petcock and had this issue?
