Clunk Line...

[Locktite]

What type of fuel line is everyone using for the clunk line..I replaced the stock fuel line with some regular nitro car line similar to the du-bro and venom racing fuel line..I then ran into a problem where i would have an empty header tank but the main would be a little lower then half tank. At one-point i was flying inverted and just as i went to flip upright the engine cut and it auto'd to the ground..Once again the main tank was just below half tank and the header tank was bone try.. I then took the tank out and flipped it upside down and noticed the fuel line doesnt have enough flex to allow the pick up to touch the bottum of the tank..Is there any special fuel line out there that i should look into.. Thanks

It appears that they are the same. They both have the 249 part number.

Should be the ticket.

Cut it a few mm shorter than you think you will need it, it will swell for a tank or 2 then stabilize. Also it will turn your fuel and ugly color for a tank or two but that wont effect anything.

I've been using regular fuel line, and it seems to work fine. I fly plenty of inverted flight, and chuck my heli around regularly. The header never empties until the main tank is GONE!

Same here. Although my "chucking around" usually involves a meeting with Terra Firma.
