Where can I find a non-pressurized port ?

You can use any non-pressurized 3/4" NPT port in the oil pan. Several of our customers tap into the drain plug of the oil pan.

 If space is at a premium, you can "T" off of drain plug. You could also install Ball Valve at the "T", connect the pipe nipple to valve, elbow off of nipple, then run your hose up alongside the motor.

Why doesn't the supplied hardware fit my port ?

Newer engines have metric O-Rings. If this is the case, you will need an adapter to go from 3/4" NPT to metric.

Visit our affiliate, C.G Enterprises for metric O-Rings and other automotive repair parts.

Why does the filler cap keep coming off?

The cap needs to be fully secured to avoid coming off due to road vibration.  Make sure you turn the cap to its farthest position, not just until it feels snug. We have recently upgraded to a better quality cap that should reduce this problem.

What is the proper way to install the ball valve?

The ball valve needs to be mounted so that the handle is pulled up when in the on position, otherwise road vibrations may cause the valve to open itself.
