This is the best fuel method I have found. The "Kwik Fill" fueling valve by Dubro. Part#334. It just splices into the fuel supply line. When you insert the supplied fuel niple it automatically shuts off the flow to the carb. Pretty slick. They sell a mounting bracket to mount to the firewall (wood) but its just as simple to use a piece of aluminum angle. You can also mount it right on the fuse. Joe
been using these for over a year now and have yet to have a problem on any of my planes that have it. hmm...
Hey Gents,
I fly with DiabloKid and we both have been using the dubro Kwik-Fills for over a year now. I have heard about leaks and the valve assembly o-rings eventually going south. If you check within close proximity of the where you got the Kwik-Fill you should also find the Kwik-Fill Rebuild Kit, about $3.65. Comes with new o-rings (big and small sizes for both sides of the valve), a new spring, shuttle (valve), nut and lock washer, and not that we need it, but easy to follow instuctions. I replace mine every 5 gallons and haven't had an air leak or fuel problem, etc. Little maintance goes a long way, heck you change your oil in your car, don't you?
