4) Carefully heat the vent tube using a heat

of the tube.
INSTALLING THE STOPPER
ASSEMBLY.
1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut off
the rear portion of one of the two nylon tubes
leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the
stopper. This will be the fuel pick up tube.
2) Using a modeling knife, cut one length of
silicon fuel line (not included) to 2-1/4” long.
Connect one end of the line to the weighted
fuel pick up and the other end to the nylon
pick up tube.
3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube up
at a 45º angle. This tube is the vent tube.
When the stopper assembly is installed in
the tank, the top of the vent tube should rest
just below the top surface of the tank. It
should not touch the top of the 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 falls into the tank.
6) With the stopper assembly in place, the
weighted pick up should rest about 3/8” away
from the rear of the tank and move freely in-
side the tank. The top of the vent tube should
rest just below the top of the tank. It should
not touch the top of the tank.
7) When satisfied with the alignment of the
stopper assembly tighten the 3mm x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pands and seals the tank opening. Do not
overtighten the assembly as this could cause
the tank to split.
