Default Engine and Fuel Pump...

Hey all,

Okay, I couldn't think of a good title ...anywho, I have a couple of questions,

Do engines rust? (In particular the OS .40 LA natural) because I wanted to tune my engine but its raining. [&o]

And, does anywhere know where I can find one of those inexpensive bracket things that hold your fuel pump on the can?


Thanks all!
IBrakeForNobody

And speaking of engines, I took inventory of all my props and this is what I have:

3 Master Airscrew 10x6s
1 Wooden 10x6
3 12x6 electrifly props
1 10x4.7 electrifly
1 12x6 wood
1 MA 11x6

And I only have like 3 (or something like that) airplanes!

I use my 30+ broken ones as mixing sticks for epoxy and paint. (after cleaning them of course)

So, back to my orginal questions....

I like your idea, raideron, but I have a 1 gallon jug...not a can [&o]...and a can would be easier to work with too.

Maybe this http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?ID=200408632.
I am sure many sell it. Seems like I saw the ads here once.
Pretty cool but not nearly so inexpesive as a wire though.

I use Du-Bro something. Vent and nipple out of a typical plastic fuel cap to my electric fuel pump. Its an assembly; complete with fill nipple; you can find at most any LHS.
