Hi all,

I just joined so forgive me if it's been asked (yes I tried the search function and it kept telling me I had to wait) but I am interested in finding some kind of valve, if it exists, that I could attach to a spudgun's chamber that would allow me to just stick a can of starting fluid up to it to fill the chamber with then pull the can away.

Basically my idea is to not have to open the cannon up to spray something into and close it real fast. Maybe there's a way to do that with propane easier? But allot of people have told me butane/propane isn't the best fuel to use.

Thanks for any info/direction.

Use propane butane. Won't gum up ur spark contacts. Here's a link for more info http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/how-to- ... -t7234.htm

Edit. Also depending on the barrel material might get eatten by starter fluidl

Just another one I found by looking around. Slightly different same result though and possibly easier to do depending on what you have lying around.
