Hi, can anyone give me a links to where i can order a silicon fuel tubes for Glow engine and Gas engine, all my stocks are finished, very hard to find all the blooming rc online shops in India these days, everybody`s flying drones 8-) I need them urgently for both Glow and Gas engines
Have baja fuel tube kit
Nitro fuel can use silicone tube but gasoline will eat the silicone slowly. For gas, either tygon or neoprene would work.
Both are available on amazon.
Silicone line is used in fish tanks as well.
Neoprene fuel line should be available on amazon
Gasoline tube.

I dont think aquarium air tubes are usable for rc kind of fuels, i have tried once
Well, they are silicone tubes... If the ID and OD matches, then there shouldn't be any problems using it. Even if they don't last long, they ain't that expensive to replace either.

Aquarium Tubes are not silicon, nor are they heatproof
It's very well to say one can always change them, but there is a possibility a failure in a tube will lead to a stalled engine, which could have severe consequences. As Silicon tube is ~ 200-250 per metre, it will cost you about Rs. 100 per model. Small price to pay fo security
Agree sir...
Not all aquarium tubes are silicone... Now most of the aquarium tubes are Vinyl plastic. Gone are the days when silicone tubes were used... But you still get silicone tubes in pet shops. Though most of the places it has been replaced by cheap vinyl.
By replacing the tubes I meant was easier for cars. As I am now more into cars and boats, I never realized that a broken tube in the air could be a disaster... Point taken...
Cheers.
