Ah yes you are right, quite reasonable price, no need to move to the USA now:lmao:

I'm gonna have to call it quits on the internet searching for the night, I'm getting brain zaps staring at the screen:stretcher:

The nipples in the link in actual size are pretty tiny. They are a standard size in RC stuff using nitro methanol.

As for the high temp silicone tubing, I think that's just a silly marketing ploy, unless its for a specific industry.
We regularly have up to 100 guys racing 1/8th rallycross doing 50-60mph with 30% fuel (well, most) and I've
not seen a car burst in to flames in the 4 years I've been racing.

Take my word, M3 fuel nipples and standard silicone will do you fine.

£1.70 for 4 is a really good price. Fuel line, take your pick!

Just been on several UK radio control shops and unless I am using the wrong terms it does not instil much confidence when searches for 'silicone tube', 'fuel line', 'fuel line connectors' , 'fuel adaptors' etc come up with zero results on every site:(
