Fastrax Fuel Tube Clamp Press Type FAST891

Overview

The Fastrax Fuel Tube Clamp Press Type FAST891 is an essential accessory for any RC enthusiast running nitro-powered RC cars and trucks in the UK. Whether you're a dedicated basher, weekend racer, or serious competitor, this simple yet highly effective fuel management tool will save you time, frustration and potential engine damage. The press-type clamp mechanism provides reliable, one-handed operation to quickly pinch off fuel lines when you need to stop fuel flow to your engine.

This ingenious little tool solves two critical problems that every nitro RC car owner faces: engine flooding and fuel spillage. When you're working on your RC model, removing the engine for maintenance, or simply need to pause your session, the Fastrax Fuel Tube Clamp prevents petrol from continuously flowing into your carburetor and engine. Instead of fuel leaking everywhere across your workshop or garage floor, this clamp keeps everything neat and dry. It's the kind of practical accessory that costs very little but delivers outstanding value and convenience to your hobby.

Manufactured by Fastrax, a trusted brand for RC nitro accessories and spare parts, the FAST891 is designed with simplicity and durability in mind. If you run nitro-powered RC buggies, trucks, truggy models or any other nitro RC vehicles, having a fuel tube clamp in your toolbox is absolutely essential for safe, clean and efficient operation.

Key Features

• Press-Type Clamp Design — The press mechanism allows you to quickly and easily squeeze the fuel line shut with one hand, providing instant fuel flow control without needing tools or complicated fasteners. This is far more convenient than trying to pinch the line manually or searching for clips.
• Prevents Engine Flooding — By stopping fuel entering your nitro engine, the clamp eliminates the common problem of fuel flooding into the carburetor when the engine is off or being worked on. This protects your engine from damage and extends its lifespan.
• Eliminates Fuel Spillage — When you need to remove your engine for maintenance, cleaning or repairs, fuel no longer leaks everywhere across your bench, carpet or workshop floor. This makes working on your RC car cleaner, safer and more pleasant.
• Compact and Portable — The Fastrax clamp is small enough to fit in your pit bag or toolkit, making it easy to bring to the track, the park, or anywhere you run your nitro RC models. You'll always have it when you need it.
• Universal Compatibility — Works with standard RC nitro fuel tubing, making it suitable for use with a wide range of nitro-powered RC cars, trucks and buggies regardless of brand or model.
• Quick and Easy Operation — Simply slide the clamp onto your fuel line and press to engage. No learning curve, no special skills required—even complete beginners can use it instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a fuel tube clamp and why do I need one for my nitro RC car? — A fuel tube clamp is a simple device that pinches your fuel line closed to stop petrol flowing into your engine. You need one because nitro engines continue to draw fuel even when the engine is off, leading to flooding (too much fuel in the carburetor) and spillage. A clamp solves both problems instantly, keeping your engine healthy and your workshop clean.
• Will this clamp work with my RC buggy, truck or truggy? — Yes. The Fastrax FAST891 is designed to work with standard RC nitro fuel tubing used on virtually all nitro-powered RC vehicles, including buggies, trucks, truggies, stadium trucks and similar models. As long as your RC car runs on nitro fuel with standard tubing, this clamp will work.
• How does the press-type mechanism work? — The clamp slides onto your fuel line and uses a simple pressing action to squeeze the tubing closed. One hand operation means you can engage or release it quickly without needing tools. The mechanical design is reliable and requires no batteries or complicated parts.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This is one of the most beginner-friendly accessories you can buy. It requires zero assembly, zero maintenance and takes seconds to use. Whether you're brand new to RC hobbies or a seasoned racer, you'll appreciate how simple and effective it is.
• Can I use this when transporting my RC car? — Yes, this is actually one of the best times to use it. Simply clamp off your fuel line before packing your RC car for transport to prevent spillage inside your car, pit bag or storage box. Many experienced RC enthusiasts always use a clamp before transport.
• What makes this better than just pinching the fuel line with my fingers? — Manual pinching is uncomfortable, inconsistent and you can only hold it while you're working. A dedicated clamp provides hands-free, consistent clamping force that you can leave in place while you work on your engine, without hand fatigue or the line slipping loose.
