I use one of these for the wing tank connector, albeit as a smoke tank. No reason it wouldn't work for fuel either. Fits perfectly on 6mm Festo fuel line.

Paul,

Thanks.

Those are the smaller Jet tech saddle tanks, so trimming off the seam was not really required - I did it just for neatness before I even got the tanks.

Scott,

Direct steering on the Electrons wins hands down over the pull-pull set-up in my mind.
