Default RE: GP Cap 232

You can use the neoprene in the tank but I usually do not. I replace all my fuel lines every season so I just do the smoke systems at the same time. I know that's a bit overkill but A) Tygon gets stiff over time B) Neoprene gets slippery in the tank and brittle from the heat at the muffler after about a year. I'd rather spend 30 dollars on a roll of tygon and another 30 dollars on a roll of neoprene than have to try to clean up fuel/smoke oil. If you ever have to do that once you'll understands what I'm sayin'
Hey Bubba

That's a great idea.most "engine" problems I have see have been caused by the fuel systems not delivering fuel. And the mess a spill will do coud prove to be nasty. That's the reason I purchase my fuel tubing (Tygon and Silicone for the glow engines) by the 50' rolls. Is much sheaper this way.

Thanks for the detailed instructions on how to plumb the system, I found [link=http://www.slimlineproducts.com/Showtime_Instruction_Manual.pdf]these[/link] instruction on the Slimline Web. Because this set-up instructions was the reason why I was looking for Nitrilr Tubing.
