| I used two JR filter Ts on my set-up so that I could get to both the fuel and pressure lines on the same side of the heli. It really helps when fueling and releasing pressure.
Here's a pic;
I use a Kalt clamp on the line from the fuel side T (blue) to the fuel nipple. Its under the yellow main tank to header tank line in the pic. Its the only clamp needed. The two output ends of the Ts have some spare ball links in them. I think they are Kyosho. They fit very tight. When fueling I can hook up an overflow bottle to the pressure line to collect fuel instead of spilling it to the ground or trying to watch for it. When fueling and after a flight I engage the Kalt clamp to prevent pressure from forcing fuel into the regulator then I pull the pressure side ball link to release. When fueling I remove both links. The clamp again prevents fuel from going into the regulator and forces the fuel to take the T into the header and main tanks.
Hope this helps,
Mike
