Is that the huge one? I have tried the DA one, the EF one (which are basically the same), the secraft magnetic one (epic fail) and most recently the miracle square and triangle magnetic ones (also not great as the magenets don't hold). They all have issues. I will try out a JEM on the 74 Laser.
I have mostly been using ones custom made by one of my friends. The JEM looks similar.
No, it's is a tiny fuel dot really.
There is a little peg that press fits in the middle. The peg sticks out when installed, and it does not screw in or lock in to place.
The back is held in into place by gluing an O-ring to the fuse and the rear of the fuel dot.
When the peg is removed, the fill needle loosely fits where the peg press fits. There seems to be no o-ring to hold the peg into place. (The poor image is because I had to push up the shadows to see inside)
Needless to say the fuel Fill needle is lose fitting, and if the fuel dot was installed on the side of a plane, the fuel needle would fall on the ground unless you held it in place. That would make the task of filling the plane a pain in the neck. I suppose you could mount it vertically on the top of the cowl and let gravity be your friend.
I am using a two lines to my tank, if I get an air leak at the fill, my plane will dead stick. I just dont trust the design after seeing it in my hand. What do you think?

Mods, if this post is too out of place, please move it, I would hate to further ruin this thread. AKf
