Removing fuel bung!!

[marktigere1]

One last question.

How do I hide a chunk from the better half that I've just taken out of the dining room table with the 600's tail fin

If anyone wants to know where I am, I just left for Cuba.

Ive had to remove mine a couple of times. I basically used some long nose pliers, the type without teeth, clamped as best either side of the nipple, then holding the tank either side of the bung with my left hand, pulled the bung out. It seemed to work, and by not using pliers with teeth, the plastic isn't damaged in anyway. Putting it back in, i used some alchocol cleaner to act as a quick lubricant, and as it evaporates off quite quickly, it does not cause any risk of the bung coming out. basically apply the cleaner to the bung and quickly puch it in, it seemed to go in really well,. Also, any alchocol in the fuel tank will dissappear whearas grease would hang around and could find its way into the fuel. Ive seen suggestions of using screwdrivers, etc to prise the bung out, i don't think this is a good idea as it could creat air gaps, thus causing issues when the tank is being pressurised. Hope this helps.

Leave the tail fin and heli stuck in the hole - she'll never see it then till you move the heli at the weekend, by which time, you'll have gone flying.

On a serious note.

Putting it back is a real trial, they fall into the tank . . . . . . . .I always resort to using them reversed, never had any problem with them sealing.

She asked at breakfast if I could make room for the kid's by moving the Heli.

I made them eat in the garden. Was such a nice day

Did you try a clamp on one nipple and then blowing really hard into the other one?
So a nipple clamp, but don't mark the nipple with your teeth, get it lubed up and it comes out OK but it is a struggle to get back in, and if you try it on the dining room table you might lose control and damage the furniture...
