Who's using a Pingel valve with a carb?

does it go onto reserve early on you? I've got a 4.2 gal tank.....zero'd the odometer at the last fill up...put 85 miles on the tank and it went to reserve....filled up it took 2.2 gal...WTF?

I know I have a 200 mile max range on my bike. I also know to start finding a gas station when I get to 170 miles. I don't trust gas gauges nor the idiot light.

I looked all over my bike and can't find a pringles valve anywhere.

May have to go to the store and buy a can later tonight, this thread makes me hungry.
