00:00If you're into model aircraft, you already know the fuel pump setup is one of those small things
00:04that makes or breaks a flying day, so I went digging and found five fuel pump systems that
00:08modelers are actually buying, and the deals on them are honestly kind of ridiculous.
00:13Let's get into it. First up, the hand fuel pump line with those rubber and aluminum primer bulbs
00:19in 6, 8, 10, and 12mm sizes. This is the classic squeeze and prime setup, and the aluminum housing
00:26means it won't crack on you after a season of sitting in a toolbox. At just $6.19 with nearly
00:335,000 sold, this is the no-brainer pickup if you just need something reliable to move fuel from the
00:38can to the plane. Next, a 12-piece carb primer bulb cap kit for Victa, Echo, Steel, and Honda small
00:45engines, and yes, these swap right into a lot of the two-stroke fuel systems we run on models.
00:50The best part? It's $5.10 for 12 pieces, so you've got spares for days
00:56instead of paying dealer prices for one little bulb. If your primer has ever gone stiff or started
01:02weeping fuel, this kit is basically your fix-its dash. Then there's this 4-meter roll of high-pressure
01:08nylon tubing with transparent hose in 2, 3, 4, and 6mm outer diameters, and this one's a sleeper.
01:15It's rated for hydraulic pressure, so for fuel lines on RC excavators, dump trucks, or your
01:20plane's plumbing, it won't balloon or kink under load. $2.79 for 4 meters of line you can trust?
01:28That's a steal, and the 4.9 rating backs it up.
01:31Number 4 jumps up in price but it's a completely different beast, the TY725 turbojet pump for RC
01:38jet boats, running at high speed with a low battery alarm built in. Now, is it technically a model
01:44aircraft part? No, but the same brushless pump tech and fuel handling applies, and a lot of guys
01:49cross over into fast RC watercraft. At $6,559 with almost $3,800 sold, it's the premium pick for anyone
01:57who wants real speed and the safety of that alarm. Last one, the 12- or 24-volt mini submersible
02:03pump
02:04in an aluminum alloy shell, pushing 12 liters a minute for fuel, diesel, oil, or water. This is the one
02:10you
02:11keep in the field box, drop it in a jug, touch the leads to a battery, and you're refueling in
02:16seconds instead of pumping by hand. $11.78 with a 4.9 rating makes it the most useful $11 you'll
02:23spend this season. So there you have it, 5 fuel pump setups that cover everything from a $6 primer
02:28bulb to a full turbojet system. All the links are in the description below, so go check them out,
