Please Help !!!!!!
I am putting together a new plane and I am need of a fuel fitting that has be discontinued. I have used this particular style of fuel fittings for at least 15 years and my whole fueling system is setup this way for all my planes and I wish to stay with this. Hopefully someone may have one laying around not being used. See the pics for the type I am looking for.

The fuel fitting is for the fuselage and was sold by B & B Specialties. I presently have the standard versions, but I am in need of the longer versions that will go through at least 1/2" and still be able to put the nut on. They wore sold with the idea of being used on foam fuses. The standard version I have will only work up to 3/8".

I spoke with B&B today, and they have discontuned the longer version. Of course, thinking I could order one, I commited to this in a finished plane and have the hole drilled already. So I was hoping that someone has one around the shop not being used and willing to part with . Of course, I am willing to pay for it if someone has one.

Thanks guys.

Hard to change isn`t it Joe? LOL! What are you going to do when B & B does away with those fuel tanks you love?

Greg and Ward,

Thanks you for coming through for me. I just knew someone had to have a set. It will help plenty. Thanks.

Bill,

I have already found a suppiler for future use. I just may have to stop letting the fuel tanks and fuel fitting go when i sell any of my planes in the future. LOL. When you have trouble free issues with a product, it is hard to change to something else. At least that is my belief.

**TheTank** · 12-23-2008, 05:33 PM

Awesome! Glad to see you found what you were looking for Joe!

rc4flying · 12-23-2008, 06:14 PM

Boy, I am glad too. I was trying to figure out how to plug the hole that I had drilled.

This is why I try to help others when I can. It will all come around sometime. Like now.

Again.....Thanks Guys
