Can you tell me what your test procedure is? Using it in flight or submerging it in gas?

So far, replacing the disintegrated fuel stopper with a Dubro gas stopper is working well (albeit not enough to tell the reliability of long term stability).

Exclamation Re: Warning! - Check your Pilot-RC fuel tank stopper!

Good to know the ARF tanks aren't worth taking a chance on. I've always used these:

B&B tanks don't have stoppers and the fittings come with barbs on them. Nice.[IMG]file:///Users/albert/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]
