chine screw until the rubber stopper expands
and seals the tank opening. Do not overtight-
en the assembly as this could cause the tank
to split.
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. he top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top of the tank. It should not touch
the top of the tank.
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 diicult to determine which is which.
