[NSRCA-discussion] Fuel tanks clunks

[Ed Miller]

Correct John, I too found the Du-Bro clunk too light requiring the addition 
of a "weight" to make it work correctly. Down side to the OS clunk is it 
doesn't fit in Kraft Hayes tanks. I like the viton O ring which keeps the 
clunk from scratching the inside of the tank eliminating the possibility of 
getting tank material in the fuel system. It fits into other tanks I've 
tried such as Du-Bro and Tetra.  I intend to try the OS clunk on my 160DZ as 
it works well with an OS 140RX.  Though pricey, you get what you pay for.
