The ECU batteries fit nicely into the pockets on 
either side of the forward main tank.  Wrap 
them in foam and insert, padding with extra 
foam as needed.  Watch wiring and air lines.
Install and plumb main tanks, running pickup 
from aux tanks to the vents of the mains, and 
the pickups from the mains to the UATs.  The 
UATs will then connect to the pumps.
Keep all fuel lines for both sides of equal 
length.  Loop where necessary.  
Block tanks with foam ... they will be a snug fit 
and should not need any further attach 
mechanisms.  
Position ECU units as shown and complete 
wiring.
