Viv Letherby Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Is there a reason why I can't find a 2 way fuel dot in any of the mainstream dealer websites? There are lots of terminations for the fill line but one to go in the feed line I cannot locate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viv Letherby Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 2 replies with the same dealer recomended. Are they going out of fashion for some reason? Maybe they are not as reliable as the plain dot that everyone has in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Rapidrc are not the lowest cost outfit, but have a huge catalogue of accessories. At the shows, their tent was among the largest with well stocked walls to view and buy all your bits.

Don Fry Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Viv, pro for these fillers, shove fuel into the system, can’t flood the motor, go fly, and less tubes to leak air. con for these fillers, a bit of grit in supply, it leaks, misery. Be absolute certain the supply is filtered. I have used both systems. I still use both. But, I can’t make my mind up if one is better. Except if you are forced to employ a tank height that naturally tends to flood he motor. And other authorities will say , cut wood to place the tank, but sometimes it’s too late. I use a manual filler pump. I can adjust the fuel supply at the end when a little less fuel pressure is good. Electric pumps just pump as ordered by the volts. a complicated explanation to say it’s a personal choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
