Fuel fill tube.
Slide the tank into the fuselage from inside so
that the neck is at the top of the fuselage and
it locates through the engine bulkhead. Gently
secure it to the top horizontal former with a
cable tie.
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.
Blow through one of the lines to en-
sure the fuel lines have not become kinked
inside the fuel tank compartment. Air
should flow through easily.

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.
Attach the silicone fuel and pressure pipes
to the tank. The lower pipe is the ‘feed’ and the
upper two the ‘pressure and fill’. The fill pipe is
the next pipe.
6) With the stopper assembly in place,
the weighted pickup 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.
