Help with a vendor
« on: June 20, 2022, 06:34:53 PM »
I seem to have 2 5 ounce hypodermic looking fuelers....both pretty old.
I'm afraid the heat here in Paradise hastaken a toll.

These fuelers have orange o-rings.

Who sells them?

Thanks

Not anywhere close to what you have but I have used the ones designed for Bar-B-Q injecting from Walmart.  They are accurate and Cheap!  Well, they were cheap.  They are not the bulb type.  Look like a giant hypodermic needle.

To prolong the life of the "O" ring I put a wrap or two of 1/8" trim tape under it. Also if I don't use it for a couple of weeks the ring shrinks a bit but comes back after a few fuelings.
I may be wrong but I doubt it.

I get syringes at the feed store. They come in a variety of sizes. Toss and replace when they get gunky or stop working smoothly. Look at them close. Some have ends made for slip on needles and will fit fuel line. Some are have threaded ends and don’t fit fuel lines.

Are orange O rings preferable to black?
I have seen the combat guys syringe - they have some type of barbed fitting that attaches to the syringe and provides grip on the fuel tubing.
Where can I find them?

O ring color is usually indicative of its material.

I prefer silicone o rings for glow fuel.

BLACK usually indicates Buna O-rings, also known as nitrile or NBR O-rings, offer excellent sealing and mechanical properties at a low cost. Buna O-rings have resistance to common lubricants and are recommended for crude oil, gasoline, propane, petroleum oils and water.

ORANGE is usually silicone
