| Post subject: | Fuel Bottle or Fuel Gun? |
Hi there, Thinking of trying out a fuel gun moving forward... Is it worth it or do you find a bottle is just more comfortable to control the flow? And I'd appreciate feedback on the ProLine and RB fuel guns. And should'nt Hudy think of producing one? Thanks for the advice. Mark |

Mark, a fuel bottle can be as fast as a fuel gun. However, with a fuel gun you will never "short" fill the tank. It always fills to the top. If you do go with a fuel gun, the Pro-line gun works great. I own the RB gun as well, but I like the Pro-line version better because you can see the level of fuel in the gun (less wasteful). |

if you race then get a gun as like said above it fills to the top then stops dead so to speak, quicker pit stops if ya pit buddy is up to it lmao  very nice looking too.
i understand that you own a xb8 buggy but if you bash then just use a fuel bottle |

Im not familiar with fuel guns, always used a bottle. How does the fuel gun know how to fill to the top everytime? Do you preload it with the exact amount? |

Yes the pro line gun leaks. In the summer months it seemed to be fine but the colder months it leaks like a siv. |

I'll take a fuel gun even with a newbie pit guy over a bottle any day of the week. |

Not going to make SS this year. Want to try and make some of the other big races that i have never been to like the pro-line challenge, the big race at KZ every year(can't remember the name) and a few others. Can't afford to go to every single one--LOL |
