[Bryan calabrese]

Been in nitro for over 40 years building my first gasser a slr missile can someone have a pic of the proper setup for the gas bag I'm sure I got it right but just want some pics for direction cause after years of tanks a bag is a whole new concept for me I'm also running a zipp bag which has one fitting into the bag using a tee for one to carb other for the fill will filling this way with the tee fitting force fuel into the carb and flood it

Simple is good when it comes to a bag set up.
I run around 6" from the carb to a T fitting with even less off the T to the bag itself

Bryan, may be show us a picture of your intende set-up? This way we can advice. The general going type as Mario and Emil posted is a T or Y connector, one leg to the bag, one leg to the carb and one leg with a short piece of capped tube to refuel and degas. But I've also seen version with just a quick disconnect so that there is no T or Y connector just an staright one. Fueling and degassing is a bit more complicated, but not impossible....

With a diaphragm carb/pumper carb I don’t think you can push gas through the carb while filling the bag. Hardest part to learn with a bag is to fill it with no air bubble in the bag.

and be carefull when filling the bag, you can burst a bag if you over fill it

I make fuel bag fittings with all styles of outlets all in one fitting.

I make them specifically to fit a Zipp Bag with the insert portion reduced .005" for the last .500" so they fit snug but not hard to get in.

There are several other styles available too besides the T and L shown. I have one that is straight and one sideways which is nice for straight to go to the carb and the sideways one for your fill line. These have huge 3/16" bore so never any restriction and cross drilled at the end so it can never develop a suction and pull bag material against the end and starve engine.
