Nope. Can't use silicone and other "glow" materials for gasoline. The hobby suppliers sell a rubber stopper for your fuel tank, and the lines need to be either rubber, plastic/vinyl, or Tygon tubing. Gasoline turns silicone to jelly. Tygon is the best. Next best is rubber. Plastic/vinyl works but will stiffen after a while exposed to gasoline.

Oh, I was sure it wouldn't work with glow stuff, I mean regular gas fittings Didn't know if there was something else out there special to get, thanks for the clearing up.

By the way, I want an Eindecker more than just about any other plane that has ever existed. My vote: Do the E.III! Just imagine the sound and the honkin' big prop. Chilling.
