...... I like them much better than the Dubro Kwik fill fuel valve because there is nothing to go wrong. A friend uses those Kwik fill valves & has problems with them clogging up on him. This is a simpler way to go without any problems. IMO
I've used the Kwik fill valves in a couple of planes. Those valves are at the bottom of a pond now. They were nothing but trouble for me. I tried them on several different planes and had problems with them on every plane. I use nothing but the fuel dots now.

Exactly right!! I don't know what it is going to take to make a believer out of my buddy John. He's had more problems with those things, in fact it seems like every time one of his engines doesn't want to run right by the time we take everything apart & start eliminating possible problems, it allways ends up that the valve is the culprit. He still buys & uses them religiously though.[&:] I think they have some kind of a one way diaphram in them that goes bad or something along that line, I'm not really sure. You won't catch me using them though!
