I don't have a Pingel, but they are supposed to turn on and off much more freely than the stock petcock. The advertisement that they will flow more fuel may be true; however, you sure don't need more fuel flow than the stock petcock provides.

As far as fuel filters on gravity fed systems, I have never known of a manufacturer using them--but then again I don't know much. The common thing I have seen on gravity fed systems is screens like Triumph uses. :-D I did put a filter on my old Ford 8N tractor because of the rusty tank--you'd think they would have built them better than that in 1952. :-D I haven't had any problems with the filter on the gravity fed tractor; however I try to keep the tank full, and the 8N gets way better fuel mileage than a Triumph. :-D
