Built-in fuel barbs keep fuel tubing securely attached, and with an optional conversion stopper, it handles both glow fuel and gasoline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecs at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDU-BRO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlloy Steel, Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.9 x 2.1 x 1.7 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExterior Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuel Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlow fuel and gasoline (with #400 conversion stopper)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardware Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Built-In Fuel Barbs Matter for RC Fuel Systems\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFuel tubing slipping off the tank is a common cause of engine failure in RC models. The Du-Bro 408 tank solves this with integrated fuel barbs on the clunk stem. These barbs grip the tubing firmly, even under the vibration and pressure typical in high-performance RC vehicles and aircraft. This design reduces the chance of fuel starvation or leaks during flight or runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSetting Up the Du-Bro 408 Fuel Tank\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward because the tank comes with all required hardware. The one-piece clunk is pre-assembled with fuel barbs, so there’s no need to source additional fittings. Simply mount the tank, connect your fuel tubing, and secure the lines. The tank’s metal exterior withstands pressure from pressurized fuel systems without cracking or splitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions Answered\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this tank with gasoline?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The Du-Bro 408 tank is compatible with both glow fuel and gasoline when you add the Du-Bro #400 Gasoline Conversion Stopper (sold separately). This stopper allows safe switching between fuel types without replacing the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the tank include a clunk?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It comes with a one-piece clunk that has fuel barbs built directly onto the stem. The clunk moves freely inside the tank to pick up fuel regardless of orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the exact capacity?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tank holds 8 ounces (236 ml) of fuel, suitable for many medium-size RC aircraft and vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the tank pressure-resistant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The Du-Bro 408 is designed to withstand vibration and pressure without splitting or cracking, even when used with pressurized fuel systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DU-BRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58074575700271,"sku":null,"price":22.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/4478\/7503\/files\/du-bro-408-8-oz-rc-fuel-tank-pressure-resistant-with-secure-fuel-barbs-1.jpg?v=1781456664","url":"https:\/\/toysforkid.co.uk\/products\/du-bro-408-8-oz-rc-fuel-tank-pressure-resistant-with-secure-fuel-barbs","provider":"Toys For Kid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
