Shrink-wrapped Sharp Edges

The brass tube of a glow fuel tank can sometimes have sharp edges that will cut through the silicone fuel lines. This happens even when you do your best to round these edges down. Put a small piece of shrink-wrap on the brass tube and leave a little hanging over the end to prevent the tube from cutting the fuel tubing. The shrink-wrap will seal so tightly to the brass tube that it won’t leak after you shrink it.
