Blow through one of the lines to ensure
the fuel lines have not become kinked inside
the fuel tank compartment. Air should flow
through easily.
9) To secure the fuel tank in place, apply a
bead of silicon sealer to the forward area of
the tank, where it exits the fuselage behind the
engine mounting box and to the rear of the tank
at the forward bulkhead.
Do not secure the tank into place
permanently until after balancing the
airplane. You may need to remove the tank
to mount the battery in the fuel tank
compartment.
8) Feed three lines through the fuel tank
compartment and through the pre-drilled hole
in the firewall. Pull the lines out from behind
the engine, while guiding the fuel tank into
place. Push the fuel tank as far forward as
possible, the front of the tank should just about
touch the back of the firewall.
6) When satisfied with the alignment of
the stopper assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper
expands and seals the tank opening. Do not
over tighten the assembly as this could cause
the tank to split.
7) Using a modeling knife, cut 3 lengths of
fuel line 150mm long. Connect 2 lines to the 2
vent tubes and 1 line to the fuel pickup tube in
the stopper.
Fuel tank.
5) Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing around the tank opening using
a modeling knife. If flashing is present, make
sure none of it falls into the tank.
Locate the long piece of wire used for the
throttle pushrod. One end of the wire has been
pre-bend in to a “Z” bend at the factory. This
“Z” bend should be inserted into the throttle
arm of the engine when the engine is fitted onto
the engine mount. Fit the engine to the engine
mount using the screws provided.
