BTE Reaction 54 Fuel System Package
If you are new to turbines, you will learn that the fuel system is a bit more complicated than the typical prop job. Attention to
detail here is critical because reliable thrust depends on smooth and steady fuel flow. It's true that the R54 can handle a flameout
with less difficulty than heavier jets, but it's still something to be avoided!
The R54 kit already comes with the main fuel tank, but this package provides all the little accessories and doodads you will need to
complete your fuel system.
Note: BTE recommends using a header tank in the R54 (header tank not included in this package). Installation
of a BVM Ultimate Air Trap (UAT) is shown in detail on the R54 plans.
1 SWB Machined Aluminum Fuel Tank Cap (high-quality upgrade for Du-Bro tank)
3 Du-Bro 5/32" Fuel Line Barbs (for extra grip on fuel lines - use on vent, feed, and clunk tubes)
