RESOLVED!! Help? Pollak 6-Port Problem

[Solace in Solitude]

If I were you, I'd carry a spare. Those are known to go defective. I ordered one when I first converted my BJ60 to veggie and it was defective out of the box (as yours appears to have been). I went another route with a much higher quality solenoid valve (at almost the same price), and never had an issue since.

Don't be shy - what was the higher quality valve?

I only went with Pollak because so many sang it's praises.

I always carry fuel hose and can easily plumb around it - but, would prefer to have a good spare. I could install the better one and carry the Pollak as a spare.

Soo long ago I can't remember, but thankfully mud can remember for me!

Post 51 is where it failed on me..

This is the valve I used, now that my memory has been jogged by my thread! Price has gone up a fair bit since I got it.

However, it may all be irrelevant as I only needed 3 ports...

For those of you who haven't been able to sleep, worrying about my problem... It's resolved - my replacement arrived last night and I installed it this morning and all is good!!

As I suspected, the Pollak 6-Port Valve was defective.

Thanks for your help!!

Pffffffft, now I can peacefully sleep. I was really worried about this. I've spent so many hours to figure this out.
