I am getting ready to assemble my first gas powered plane (a 3W fun Xtra).

What is the recommended method for plumbing the plane? Are you using a 3 line tank and fuel dots? What about a sullivan/dubro fueler?

Thanks

All you need to do is run a two line system.
The line to the carb needs a T on it to a fuel dot or something similiar. You wont flood the motor when fueling because your carb is a pump and no fuel will go that way till the motor is running.

Get the MIRACLE FUELER. Mounts to the side of your fuselage with a jam nut.

Like a previous poster said:
A T-connection in the fuel line to the carb, with a fuel dot to round it off nicely.
One single vent tube in the tank, going up from the bottom to prevent syphoning action.

I use the Miracle Fueler, also. Has an o-ring seal, positive 1/2 turn locking action, large enough to get a good hold. Well worth it.

I like this fueller using 3 lines so as not to take any chance on having air to the carb.

another view.

And the last one

Hi Roger - Those look cool - do you make them?

Yes I do.

ok thanks

Pe, can you elaborate on the syphoning issues? I'm just in the process of running my vent line in my current project. Like my last plane, I just leave my open vent line hang (dangling) about 2 inches out of the bottom of the cowl.

Thanks.........Mark
