Hey All:

something I noted and though others might want or find interesting.


the other day I was looking at my fluid levels (all OK but hydro was a bit low so I decided to fill her up.


needless to say I over filled her when pouring the 5 gallon jug into the funnel. it filled right up to the top almost even to the bottom of the plug. I was thinking and wondering about what others were saying about draining the FEL cylinders and stuff so I figured heck nothing to loose and set about doing a quick test.

this is what I found. with FEL flat on the ground fluid res completely full 0 room for much more than a drop, I raised fell fully up and rolled bucket fully over. checked the fluid level then. the fluid was barely reachable to level from the factory dip stick! as in it touched it at the very tip... this is with the Factory ZL 20 FEL. so people with the Heavy Duty Kokier with the big 2" cylinders are using even MORE fluid and could possably run into a cavitation issue if they raise the FEL and CURL it back...


anyhow just a warning...
