anyone had any experience of the pevekoil EVPT 5013.22?

yeah my neighbour uses 2x on his T4 twin tank system...

top notch valves!

thanks RM. this seems to be the general consensus.

i will be returning the VSV8 for a credit against a pevekoil 13mm internal bore valve.

i will then review my transaction..

you'll need the 3x barbs to fit, I think my neighbour used air line hose quick release clips, same thread

cheers, i will probably get some 3/8 bsp to 10mm hose tails to keep everything the same.

just hope this is worth the 70 quid....

when my valves go I will be buying thoses too. 70 is nothing when I save £5000 a year on fuel and have done for 8 years, roughly, but you can see where im going so to speak, drop in the ocean...

keep smiling going past the fuel stations

the other side of the coin is that i use the valves for 30 seconds of a night for about 5 months of the year.....

but i agree on the savings side of it.

i was happy with the telcalmit thingys until it kept staying open and losing all my diesel....

Would the core that slides through the electromagnet, being stuck half way, not cause the electromagnet to overheat?
I haven't had much to do with them, but they seem to buzz loudly, until it fully retracts the core.

No, solenoid valves don't work like that.

As soon as you apply voltage, you get a slow inrush of current which builds to a maximum as a magnetic field is built. A permanent magnet then moves within the magnetic field which opens/closes the valve. The only time the current will change is if the magnet moves. As long as it is stationary, the current will remain constant regardless of where the magnet is - or even if it's there at all.

Ah, thanks for that. I was under the illusion that it was like a motor, that got hot if it was jammed.
