    I use a fuel magnet.
    Works very well..

    You have to keep an eye on them though as they need the foam replacing regularly.
    Find they last longer if you leave some fuel in the tank so they stay wet.

      I use a header tank as it's easier to see when your low on fuel as well

        header tank seems to work very well, without the risks associated with a fuel magnet. It does lean out very slightly towards the end of the tank but not much.

            fuel magnets now for 2 years, only ever had one replaced. a foam is like 3 quid so if it lasts 3 months (mines always last 2-3x that then who cares. will take EVERY drop of fuel out the tank if you want. 3 nitros and zero headers now.

            you MUST leave enough fuel in tank after days flying to keep the foam wet.

            cheers
