Gasoline line T's
I bought 3 fuel/gasoline fuel dots online. When they came there were no T's in the package. Can I use auto windshield washer line T's from the auto parts? Or anyone have a suggestion that I could pick up at Wal-Mart or Lowes? I hate to wait another week for an online purchase of a couple T's. Thanks Brian

The will work but if you can find metal ones that is better.
I have had plastic ones last for about 50-60 flights and began leaking.
The plastic got soft and from the vibration, cause the leak.
I always leave fuel in my plane and cap the vent line.
This probably contributed to the failure.

Brass is best IMO. You might try an aquarium store, other have had success here over the years. I have purchased brass tees, line reducing couplings, reducing tees and more at Auto Parts stores and more specifically HVAC wholesalers that carry stuff for commercial controls (its common for pneumatic control in large buildings).
