Default fuel guns

ok its time for me to buy a darn fuel gun after having pitting problems this weekend in a 40 min state final main.

i have used the proline gun and the losi gun but anyone have any experience with the rb fuel gun? i know they all leak fuel but the proline seems to leak the most. just thought the rb gun looked cool. hafta figure out how to stamp a little OS on top of that rb tho :P

The aluminum RB gun leaks as well. Save your money and get the Losi gun. It seems to leak the least but they work great.

I have never tried any other fuel guns, but I did just buy the Losi and use it this past weekend. As long as you dont tip it far enough to get fuel in the vent ports, its quite leak free. I got mine for $30 and couldn't pass it up. Also the markings on the side are very nice, as I can keep track of fuel used very easily and tell the driver to go a few more/less laps.

Well if you plugged the vent holes then it would fuel slower and it would still leak as long as one hole was open so you migh help some but it would leak and fuel slower

Strange. I have both guns. If I keep the guns pointed down, my proline guns doesn't leak and the losi gun leaks a lot. The losi gun doesn't leak at all when I point the gun straight up in the air, but I normally point the gun down when waiting for a car to enter the pits.

I have used the Losi gun (it was rezenclowd3's) and if pointed down it didnt leak at all as long as no fuel made it into the vents when filled and it wasnt leaned forward, yes it does leak if used wrong but with his at least there was no leaking when used correctly, it was a very nice gun, I watched somebody next to me use a pro-line gun when using the Losi gun and it looked to be a tiny bit faster but not worth the $20.

The difference between the losi gun and the pro-line gun that I've found are, the pro-line gun fills faster, the losi gun has a smaller nozzle and fits better in the tank, the pro-line tells you how much fuel you put in the gun, the losi tells you how much fuel you put in the car. All fuel guns leak no matter what you do or who makes them.
