Cuttin Out at High speed from air bubbles in the fuel line.

[David Gray]

Has any one had this problem before? I have the stock plastic tank and I seem to be getting air in the line somehow. I was thinking of switching it to the RD Logics aluminum one that has a barbed fuel fitting at the bottom. The plastic one has no barb and is just smooth, not a very tight connection and located poorly. Any Ideas beyond my own would be great and thanks for the help.

Your tank must be missing a screw. It will vibrate causing the fuel to foam and eventually ruin your engine. I would highly suggest not wasting 55 bucks on an aluminum tank. You can get a nice 'clunker' style tank from proline that holds more and works much better for about 20 bucks. You just have to be careful with the proline tank. Too long of a screw and it's gonna leak. I know, I had that problem. Once I got my 2nd one it worked way better than stock.

Air bubbles in the fuel line can also be a sign of an air leak. Could be a bad line. Could be a crack in the tank.

If you do end up getting a new tank, I'd say go with the proline runtime. I just got one and it's great. Has an in tank filter (though I'm keeping my in line filter), Flanders I imagine the in tank filter would break down air bubbles, if you were still having the problem. Good luck

Put a longer fuel line in it with a loop or two behind the engine and tie wrap it loosly to the shock tower. The extra line with loops helps stop bubbles from getting up to the carb when your bouncing around a lot. I did that to my 2.5 and new 3.3.
The 3.3 Revos come stock with a few loops in there.
