Fumoto valve up?
Volks:
I just read through this thread and was wondering if the Fumoto valve MUST be oriented with the valve at the top? If so, is it because of some leakage issue if it isn't valve up. It seems to me that you would have easier access to the control lever if the valve was mounted horizontally with the lever in the down position.
Also, some of the Fumoto's have a nipple and others don't. I assume the nipple is supplied so you can to hook a short length of hose onto the nipple to direct the flow as desired. Does the oil just flow/dribble out of one end on the nipple-less models?
