I want a 12 volt solenoid valve to turn on my extra fuel tank, in the bed of my truck. will the 12 volt coil last, when left on for long periods of

I do have a couple of them in use currently.... We have had no problem as of yet.....

I have a live all the time 12 volt port. I can let the car sit for a week and I've never had a problem.

Yes it will run off any 12v system with a small battery you wont have as much run time as you would a deep cycle or automotive battery , but I am sure it would last all weekend if thats the only thing running off of it ... run a in line fuse of the red wire " positive " & run it how you would like from there .mine has wire coming off the fuse link so I put a eye style connector of that to the battery post .

The fridge has a safety solenoid valve that has to open to allow gas flow. It is actuated be electricity. You could defeat the valve but very dangerous and I am sure all warranties would be void. I used a cheap 12 volt car battery to actuate the valve at a remote cabin with no electricity. The only problem is you have to recharge the battery. I have two batteries.

The valve is plastic. Mine has worked perfectly, but it is placed in an area where there isn't direct contact with the engine block or exhaust. Your fuel line is rubber would also melt is placed on the engine or exhaust. So, it should be no problem to find a good spot for the valve. Besides it works as well as the tougher metal version and costs much less.

I still have the electric coils. I hope someone else can answer your question.

I used 14 AWG stranded, because I use it as a constant fan for my truck. I also used a relay with an inline fuse to the battery for power, grounded to a good ground for power and switch ground. I attached the positive of the relay switch to a switch leg and back to a power source that is only on when the key is in the ignition at on position. check your manual or use a multimeter and test fuses that are only on with the key and off when the ignition is off. This protects your battery from drain and your electrical system from a fire. Maybe over kill but I had a vehicular fire under both gasoline and electrical (not proud of it just grateful to be alive). I hope that was of some help.

Long time so far. I am sure it depends on how often you open and close the valve. Standby mine have lasted 6 mo. so far.

The Coil is rated at 5 Amp's. I put a volt meter on it and it showed 3.5 amp's after kick in. Hope this help's...

That's one thing I use these for, the other being the main lights switch, the electronics cutout, and an electric fuel pump to maintain enough fuel flow through the water separator filter. Never had one fail yet. Needs tab sockets on the ends of the leads to connect, but have used to switch 16 to 12 gauge wire with no trouble as long as it was 12vt.

check to see if you have gas valve turned the wrong way bc it has a very long reserve tube

This coil draws a lot of power, not sure. Msd has great support I would ask them directly

There's a transformer box this uses, and the wires it uses look to be about 16 gauge. I have to assume pretty minor. Like the previous guy said, it's just turning on a water solenoid and turning it off, the house water pressure and the bypass of your furnace do the rest of the work.

It should last as long as any other relay that stays energized. Cars use them all day every day without fail so I would say no. I don't know what your planned use is but a relays' function is to control (turn on or off) a high amperage circuit through the use of a low amp circuit. Hope this helps,

I like to leave it plugged up to maintain the full charge. but this is a good powerful jump box. I used it to start my diesel tractor in 0 degree wheather . I left mine unplugged for about 3 weeks and it still had a full charge in it. this is a way better product than the cheaper jump boxes. it is worth the extra money in my opinion.

The contacts can certainly handle that voltage , it's the amperage you need to be careful with . The pick-up coil will turn to smoke in a nano second at that voltage but I bet you have it wired for a 12 volt trigger (switch/relay) to activate it .

I don't know, I have not test but is a small solenoid on function only on one side; ex.: for the main tank always on with no current and on ( 12V) when is for the auxilliary side. So if you run on the main you don't use current.Regards
