Range you carry without feeling it. A soft, front-mounted fuel system that adds hours to the flight and disappears into the machine, so the only thing you notice is that the day lasts longer.
One bag, three jobs. The Starseed® Fuelbag adds range for long cross-country (XC) days, feeds fuel forward in flight, or replaces a solid tank entirely with something lighter and better balanced.
A replaceable soft bladder sits inside a front-mounted container and carries up to 9.5 litres. When you need it, fuel pumps straight into the main tank on your back. Built for Starseed® pilots first, it also fits third-party tanks, with two inserts available and one in the box.

Throughout the industry's history, numerous manufacturers have experimented with soft fuel bladder designs and front-mounted solid fuel tanks, often facing challenges like fuel leaks and cumbersome installations. The Starseed® Fuelbag stands apart in this regard.
Our specially crafted soft fuel bladder is securely housed within a custom-designed, Cordura-based front container. This bladder is made from a unique material blend, ensuring durability and longevity.
Distinctively, the soft fuel bladder operates as a closed system, eliminating the need for venting. As fuel is consumed, the bladder compresses, effectively turning fuel into magical flights. This innovative design ensures both efficiency and a sleek profile, setting the Starseed® Fuelbag apart in the realm of fuel management solutions.
Owners of the Starseed® Stellar and X/X2 models can greatly benefit from Setup #1 of the Starseed® Fuelbag. This configuration offers a substantial fuel capacity of up to 20 litres, ideal for even the longest flights. The Fuelbag Setup #1 can be seamlessly connected to your 10-litre Starseed® main fuel tank in under 2 minutes. This setup is optimally designed to extend flight times to over 5 flight hours with the Starseed® Stellar and X/X2 platforms.
If your paramotor is from a brand other than Starseed Ltd, the Starseed® Fuelbag is still a great fit for you. Equipped with a 9.5-litre soft fuel bladder, it's designed to connect with any fuel tank. The key requirement is that your fuel tank should have two (or more) inserts for fuel line connections, with at least one of these being available for use. The system can be connected to your fuel tank in just 5 minutes, extending flight times by over 2.5 hours when used with engines like the Vittorazi Atom 80, Corsair N80, or Corsair Black Bee 125. This is in addition to the flight duration provided by your main fuel tank.
Fly with the Fuelbag as your only tank and the machine changes character. Weight drops, and there is no solid tank to catch with a foot on take-off. The bladder is transparent, so your fuel level stays in plain sight, and the paramotor is lighter to carry to launch. Best of all is the balance: you feel it on the ground, on take-off and in the air. It is worth trying once to understand.

* A custom attachment system is needed for other third-party fuel tanks without a 1/4" BSP inlet. Starseed recommends mounting the fuel line onto the available fuel inlet and fastening using the included fuel clamps. See the photo of configuration 2 for an idea of how to mount the Starseed® Fuelbag using this method.
