NEED HELP WITH FILLING STATION PLEASE

[scssniper74]

Hi guys! Just purchased my first Trex 600 Nitro Pro. Actually My first Nitro EVER!!! Was curios as to what everyone is using for refueling there helis.. I've searched everywhere and have seem a lot of setups but haven't pulled the trigger on anything as of yet. Electric? hand crank? what's good and what to stay away from? My LHS Carries VP PowerMaster Nitro and comes in a metal can. Can I utilize this can or do I need something different? have seen some setups with the plastic gallon jugs but not the Metal cans.. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I use this, but it fits a 1 gallon plastic bottle. Works perfect.

I use VP, and prefer the metal can.

Here's what I use, works really well:

Have you had good luck with the VP? I'm sure you have otherwise you wouldn't be using it I guess! Lol! Which blend are you using? I like the metal can also as well as the DuBro filling station. Thanks!

I have one of these that I really like.

The thing I don't like about using a pump that attaches to the top of the regular fuel jug is that they get really top heavy as the fuel is used and they tip over all the time.

old school here. wood field box with 12 volt cell, power panel, electric fuel pump, glow driver and starter all right there.

VP has been gr8 for me. I'm running their Heli 30% nitro.

I have a jersey modeler for gas and love it, but never thought about getting one for nitro. The Fillin Station works well on the metal VP can, I've never had it tip over on me. Maybe the round plastic jugs tip more easily? Knock on wood, it's never tipped over in the car, but I always have it wedged in a crate.

Thanks for all the info guys. Looks like DuBro fillin station and VP it is!!

Good point. I've never run VP and that metal can is quite a bit different shape. I have a tote with wheels that I put my fuel, starter, etc. in when I go flying so that I don't have to worry about it spilling all over.

I built my own 2 1/2 gallon fuel jug and can post pictures if you'd like!

[scssniper74]

Definitely would like to see it!

Castor Oil??

The VP Heli fuel (Powermaster) uses all synthetic, which I have read is Red Line, one of the best synthetics around...
