FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

2. Locate the (4) supplied brass fuel barbs. Two for

the fuel tank and Two for the smoke tank. Solder
a brass fuel barb to the fuel line pick up tube.
This will keep the weight of the fuel clunk from
pulling the fuel line off the brass tube.

Note:

No brass barbs are required for the air vent

lines.

3. Assemble the fuel pick up line, rubber stopper

and metal end caps. As shown below.

4. Solder a brass fuel barb to the other end of the

fuel pick up line.
