Trojan T-105

[Richard Hayden]

John,
I only wish I could figure our why the valve is even needed at all. And then to
leave it in an on state when parked just does not make sense.

Way to go! I think you are the first that I recall who has pin
pointed this as a battery drain. Thanks!

should make it even better than the last few years. The draw was the
Sporlan Summer valve (bottom Sporlan valve) in the engine
compartment. As originally wired by BB, that valve stays on when you
are parked. I have no idea why it was that way. You always hear
of "phantom" currents in our birds and this is the biggest single
draw I have found. After turning the "A/T" switch off, the spot
lights switch to left position and disconnecting a few relays that
were always on and no longer needed, I think that I have reduced the
phantom current to near zero.
