Title: Raptor Petcock Install Question
Post by TRLREDY on 08/19/21 at 19:04:07

Hey all! I've read through the various posts regarding this topic but I haven't seen my specific question addressed so here goes.
I did the install last night. All went well till it was time to put the Raptor in. The brass tube has the white plastic/mesh extension on it. Over top that mesh was clear plastic tubing. Like aerator tubing for a fish tank or something. That plastic sleeve made it too thick to fit up into the tank. As i tried to insert it that clear sleeve started sliding down. So I removed the clear tubing and the petcock went into the tank no problem.
Is that tubing just there for protection for shipping/storage etc? Did I do the right thing by removing it? Thank you and sorry for the long narrative!

just there for protecting during shipping, remove before flight.

Thank you verslagen1. I really appreciate the info! Been stressing about it.
Brand new to all of this. Just recently acquired my '03 and have a lot to learn.
