Which Fuel Gun, if any?
#16
Are the fuel guns really that much better than a bottle or is it that they don't over fill the tank and get fuel every where?
If you couldn't get a gun what is the best bottle?

I done right, there is no way a fuel bottle is faster than a fuel gun. LOL, I run the LOSI and like it alot, I had the RB and it looks cool as hell, but it just doesn't work well since you can't see the fuel. I welded bungs in the RB body and ran a clear fuel line and it helped, but I wouldn't go through all that, easier to get the LOSI.

I also use the losi gun, it is easy and fast. But it is fast because of the breather holes, which if it is turned upright with fuel then pointed downward will spill from the breather holes. Mine leaked a bit when I first got it but I pulled it apart and found that it can be adjusted so the 'O' ring has a better seal. Easy fix. But I just top it up before I use it then empty what is left back into my bottle.

Having been a solo pit guy with a bottle, I feel that I'm pretty fast and I'm not sure I could be faster with a gun. I've watched the guns dump and they don't seem much faster than a bottle, and overall pit time doesn't seem much faster to me... Of course, I'm betting the gun does a better job of topping off without spilling...
Now a two-man crew, I can see how they'd be quite a bit quicker with a gun versus a bottle if they synch it right.
I'll have to pick up a gun and give it a try next time I'm out, if it's faster for me by myself I'll stick with it

Are you talking just a one-man pit guy or a two-man crew?

One or two man crew should be faster with a fuel gun. Two man crew is usually faster than one if they know what they are doing. Even as a one man crew, you still have one hand to hold the car and one hand for refueling. I will say this, when somebody is pitting for me it is always their choice what to use. If you aren't comfortable with a gun then use the bottle. If you get comfortable with a gun you should be faster.

Are the Losi guns supposed to leak a bit? Mine leaks at the tip and I was told it is supposed to.
