That's what I forgot to mention! Lightly scour the fuel tank with a brillo pad or fine grit sand paper then glue it to the fuel clip. Thanks for reminding me as well Jason.

| Post subject: | fuel line clip gluing |
Can anyone tell me what kind of glue i should use to glue the clips that hold the fuel line to my fuel tank. I already tried CA glue and 15 minute epoxy both times the clips came right of when i applied the fuel lines, I really like the clean look when there are clips attached to the tank and hold the fuel lines. Thanks! |

I used Losi tire glue. Just a lil dab on each of the fuel tubing clip then applie a lil pressure while placing it on the fuel tank. It has yet to come off from racing. |

Big Mac, CA does work but not on the smooth surface of the tank. What I do is take my X-acto blade and kinda scatch the surface of the tank where I want to glue the clip to and then I scratch the surface of the clip that will be glued to the tank. Apply CA and it will stick, the glue just needs something other than the smooth surface to hold on to. Hope this helps. |

It worked, i scrapped the surfaces with a sharp knife and then applied the CA and it looks to hold up. Thanks!! |

Been using the Racers Edge Fusion glue for the fuel line clips, and tires and whatever needs a fast hot bond. I used the tiny wire wheel on my dremel to roughen up the tank and the clip, then one drop of Fusion, Instantly locked the clip to the tank, a bit crooked I might add. the stuff sets up in the blink of an eye. |
