Great Planes Easy Fueler Valve Glow
1st I would like to say Happy 4th to everyone.
Which fuel line goes to where? I cant find the rapper I got the item with that had the direction. Does the straight line go to the carb and the curved line go to the mufler? Question 2: Can I fuel and unfuel using it?
Thanks

Your right on what line goes where NJAIRSTRIKE. And yes, you can use it to fuel and unfuel your plane, that's what they are made for. I used one on my U-CAN-DO 46 and I'm using one on my new Modeltech Formula 3D right now. Great little gadget.

You can buy o-rings and rebuild if need be.When using the gizmo pump a little fuel in to a cup,rinse the fill line end in the bit of fuel thats in the cup,then wipe the fill line fitting BEFORE plugin it in to the easy filler,when your fueling up or draining.Another tip don`t drag your fill line in the dirt!!DAVE B.

I cant manage to make this work out. The straight line goes to the carb thats fine but where does the original line comming from the tank that supposed to go to the carb go? and where does the clunk line comming from the tank go? i'm confused. Would it be possible for someone to scan a picture of this and post it?

Here you go..
One thing to be careful for, it is very easy to strip the threads on the valve. Make sure you don't try to thread it on slightly crooked, or the threads will be messed up. Personally I found the Dubro filler valve to be slightly better quality.

Hey,
I got the O.S 46 engine on it, its a little under powered in my opinion but its fine for now till I get a 91 os and put it in.

Those work good on thin cowls and thin wall fuselages. If the fuse thickness gets too thick for one of those I get one of these:

They work good too very simple.
