Title: Fueling hose barb adapters
Post by: Keith Miller on August 31, 2013, 05:05:41 PM

Hi, guys -
Some local guys here in San Diego got me interested in flying some combat ships using bladders.  Just the other day I got a face full of fuel  ~^ when my filling line came loose from my syringe. 
To solve this, I'm trying to find a few (just a few) female Luer thread style adapters to add to my fueling syringes so that I can use smaller ID tubing and have a secure fit.

I found two sources on-line, but both sell only 25 per pack at $8-10 plus another $10 in shipping and taxes.  I don't really need 25 of them!

Cole Parmer has them : Female luer x 1/8" hose barb adapter, PC, 25/pk $9.75
They can also be found on Amazon: Value Plastics FTLL430-1 Female Luer Thread Style to 400 Series Barb, 1/8" (3.2 mm) ID Tubing, White Nylon (25-Pack) $7.65

Just wondering if any of you might have just THREE of these things you'd be willing to drop in an envelope for a couple bucks?

I just ordered a pack of 25 from Amazon.  Should get to my house Wednesday. Or so. Let me make sure they are the right ones first

MBS also has them.  I think they are part number 4012 in their catalog.
