VespaGTS Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 My Fumoto oil drain plug had become loose and I was losing oil. Not sure how this could have happened? Maybe heat cycles and being overlooked for torque specs at oil change intervals? It went in originally at correct torque spec. Just saying it’s worth a look!

Asking because I'm running a killer b pan and put the fumoto valve in the NPT thread instead of the straight thread hole Sent from my HD1925 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 All three of mine are still tight and not leaking. I'm wondering if it was operator error...I just installed all three of mine with an adjustable wrench, didn't use a torque wrench. That's why I went with Fumoto...
