Default Great Planes Easy Fueler

Tonite was the last draw. I can't remember ever having this much trouble with anything. I put in the last replacement fueler, it worked 1 time correctly and leaked to the carb on the 2nd fueling. I disconnected the lines and ran them outside the cowling and coupled them together with a short piece of brass tube. Problem solved !!!!! I flew and fueled at least 5 or 6 times and that disconnected fueler didn't leak a drop. I think that made a total of 4 GREAT PLANES EASY FUELERS in a row that leaked to the carb of my new SAITO 72. Oh well.....

The probability of getting 4 bad ones in a row is kinda slim. I suspect that you have your connections to the 2 nipples reversed. This will mean that your fuel will be pumped to the carb instead of the tank. Another possibility is your pump pressure is too high. Just my 2cents.......
