Indeed, mine did not last too long. I installed them in the steel petcocks that
do not lock into position. I just bought a set of used aluminum petcocks (the
locking kind) from some guy on e-Bay. I like them a lot better than the steel
ones. I'll try and remember to take the old petcocks apart and see what
happened.
Cheers,
Dave

I am aware of people, (Dave Jackson of Junior's), that have made their own, who had varying results. Junior says that the ones he made that were used with the petcocks that "clicked" into place have all worked. The smooth slide type which are most prevelent, all started to leak again after a time.
