Just installed the manual Pingel petcock on my daily '84

As a footnote to this thread, the correct mount spacing for the Pingel adaptor plate on my '84 fj1100 is 46mm. I found a reference to 44mm sizing on the net, and ordered based on that info rather than measuring. I have re-ordered the correct size plate, and as well a self kick in the a$$ tool.

 Whoever mentioned getting the tank off in 60 seconds is the man/woman for me! I've had a week of fuel supply probs with my FJ11. My fault. However, I renewed the main fuel hose and vacuum hose. Still it surges at idle and stutters under load. Just the idea of something quick release would be good news to me. Took me 2 hours to push it up the hill!!.

Fuel line routing is critical... the line from the tank runs around the top of carb #3 then under the split line back to the petcock.
