Fuel tubing

Do not use transparent PVC-fuel tubing!

 This clear fuel tubing often fits neatly onto the 

nipples and seals nicely for a short while, but after a fairly short period, this clear tubing 

becomes hard and expands a little in the process, due to the action of the petrol. This tub-

ing then moves due to engine vibration, allowing air to enter the fuel line. It is impossible 

to seal this PVC tube satisfactorily. 

Our specially made, thick-wall Neoprene fuel tubing is fairly soft and can be sealed perfectly 

at the nipples with 0.5 mm copper or brass wire, by being wound twice around the tubing 

and twisted together. Do not be tempted to use nylon tie straps or small Jubilee clips to 

seal the fuel lines, these straps and clips do not exert pressure right around the tubing, they 

only serve to pull the tubing into an oval shape on a round nipple. The black fuel tube is 

very tough and due to having a very thick wall, it is not easily kinked.

A very good alternative tube is the transparent yellow 

Tygon® F-4040

 tubing. It is much 

lighter and does not expand in contact with petrol, also you can see air bubbles in the fuel. 

You must use more care in laying this Tygon tube in the model to ensure that there are no 

sharp bends. This tube is not especially heat resistant, therefore it follows it must not make 

contact with any hot engine parts.

Installation of the ignition

Please install all components of the ignition, including the ignition battery as far away from 

the remote control components as possible.

Please install all cables with greatest care. Especially the high voltage ignition cables should 

not rub anywhere.  Only an undamaged insulation can restrain the high voltage of about 

20.000 Volt. If the screening is damaged, because the cables rubbed on a cutout in the 

cowling, the insulation of the cable will get damaged or at least weakened. The ignition 

voltage will not discharge at the spark plug anymore, but rather will strike through the 

screening at the weak point. The engine will misfire and because of the (second) discharger 

the radio gear will be interfered very serious!

Use only knife edge contact switches such as our switch order no. #2024. Toggle switches 

with roller contacts are not suitable as these are intended for 240 V. Used on low voltage, 

oxidation can occur, this increases the contact resistance and will lead to ignition failure.

Take care with plugging together the JR-plugs and sockets by noting that the colors should 

line up on opposite sides. It is possible with a little extra effort to push these together with 

reverse polarity. No damage will be done but the ignition will of course be dead. I tape 

these plugs and sockets with insulation tape for additional safety.
