Function and performance

This flange has the specific mission of securing and facilitating the opening of the fuel tank in radio control models with combustion engines. Its proper functioning ensures comfortable, airtight filling without leaks, which is fundamental in any running or competition session.

Compatibility

Designed for the fuel tank of any radio control model, making it a widely usable replacement within the combustion RC world. Check reference ANS201000099 to confirm it fits your specific model before installation.

Installation and preparation

Replacing this flange is an accessible operation even for hobbyists with basic experience in maintaining RC models. Simply remove the damaged or worn flange and secure the new one in place, ensuring a proper seal of the tank to prevent fuel loss during operation.

Common errors
