[NSRCA-discussion] Fuel tanks clunks

[Dave Burton]

I have to disagree with this Jon. I've been using the DuBro filter for years
and have never had this problem with glow fuel tanks. I've never tried it
with gas fuel line.

The OS clunk is heavier, and works better with the common fuel tubing we
use.  The Dubro piece is so light that it will not bend fuel tubing to the
bottom of the tank.

Yea Ed,  That OS part looks like the same idea.
