Re: fuel tubing

Hi Paul,
Reading this post makes me realize I forgot to pack some extra of the hard tubing for plumbing the engine. I'll put together a care package of the harder fuel tubing for your engine. Tygon is used for the tanks, but generally speaking it's only used for the tank clunk lines, and to plumb the tanks together. Once that is done, the harder fuel tubing is used from the header tank to the pump and onto the turbine. Sorry about the tubing, I completely forgot, I'll throw some in an envelope to you!

Re: fuel tubing

I use tygon (its yellow, basically used on all the 3d gas burners) on everything before the pump and festo line after the pump. Use the largest line you can use. You can get tygon at pretty much any hobby store. You can get your fittings, festo line and such from Peter at Altecare.

That's no problem Jeremy, so a care package hey Well lets see now there are a few other things......... Also from looking in the manual I noticed there are special connections for the fuel lines. Can I get this from pete at altacare as well?

Thanks
Paul
