I was just wondering what is the best clunk line out there for best fuel pick up?? I hear the fuel magnet is really good but see there are tons of different ones. I see the bubblless one. Is it any good. I have stock Align one in my 600 and stock JR ones in my Vibes and stock TT in my raptors. So I was looking to upgrade them to something better so was just wondering what is the best????????????

I just love the fuel magnet one from OMI. But then, I run YS91 and YS50 motor... so no muffler back pressure that eats the foam.

I've heard the "bubbleless" works gread too, but the fuel magnet definitively leaves your tank empty! I even removed the header tank on my 2 nitro heli... less potential problem/plombing. I don't need that extra 2 minutes... My knees are shaking after 8

OK

So the fuel magnet is the way to go even though I run O.S and it will eat the foam?? How many flights till you need to replace the foam? and is there any more out there? Thanks

As long as you purge the gasses, and refil your tank, religiously, after every flight, the foam will last a while. But if you forget, and let the gasses eat the foam, it can cause alot of problems.

If you're going to use exhaust preasure (ie OS engines), the bubbless clunk is the way to go.
