Description[]
Duel Fueler is a Hot Wheels casting designed by Greg Padginton that debuted in the 2008 New Models.
The casting went through a retool in 2013, although no major changes appear to have been made. A second retool was done in 2016, where the base was changed to now be of a three-rivet design as opposed to a tab-rivet design on previous releases.
