2) Using a modeling knife, cut one length
of silicon fuel line. 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.
Carefully use a lighter or heat gun to per-
menently set the angle of the vent tube.

tube.
Important
:
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 toch the top of the tank.
4) 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.
5) With the stopper assembly in place, the
weighted pick-up should rest away from the
rear of the tank and move freely inside 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.
FUEL TANK INSTALLATION.
You should mark which tube is the vent
and which is the fuel pickup when you attach
fuel tubing to the tubes in the stopper. Once
the tank is installed inside the fuselage, it may
be difficult to determine which is which.
6) When satisfied with the alignment of the
stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm ma-
chine 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.
