- T&T Header Tanks!
Who needs a header tank? Almost everyone who flies a heli!
It's an old wives tail that the tanks solve fuel draw problems
caused by poor main tank location. BUT, these tanks ABSOLUTELY
prevent your engine from sucking air when the main tank gets
low - because the header tank stays FULL until the main tank
is empty. A MUST HAVE for any heli pilot flying aerobatics!
They have the same high-quality Hayes 2-oz tank as most of
the others, but that's where the similarity ends. The T&T
Machined stopper with o-ring is the best seal flying and is easier
to install and remove than the stock plastic unit.

The machined mounting brackets are a great, snug fit
on the tank. The aluminum should last a lifetime. Drilled for
installation with standard 3mm bolt.
The T&T tanks are available with your choice of Purple
or Sliver anodized brackets as shown above. We have the best
prices ANYWHERE on these tanks and even lower prices for buying
2 or more. Call toll free or visit the HeliProz catalog site
to order yours!

By the way, in case you haven't installed one of these
tanks here's the plumbing layout. The carb is hooked to the FUEL
line of the header tank. The VENT on the header is hooked to
the FUEL (Clunk) line of the main tank. The vent on the main
tank is the muffler pressure line. To fuel you just unhook the
line from the engine to the header and fill the header, which
then dumps fuel to the main tank.
Related items you may want to check out are the 3-way filters,
hi-nitro fuel line and heavy clunks - all in stock. The fuel
shutoff clips from JR are also a nice accessory, as are the fuel
line plugs with retainers (especially if you use the 3-line filters!)
For the best value WIHOUT the machined outlet nipple, check
out the DBC Header Tanks (about
half the price!)
