FUEL CELLS
The fuel system is very important. A good installation will ensure trouble free operation
and no flame outs due to air bubbles. Make use of an air trap. We recommend BVM UAT.
Rinse tanks and make sure no foreign objects from
manufacturing process stayed behind in tank.
Do a pressure test and see if tank is secure no cracks
on seam lines.
Mark the top of tank . Also
draw arrows to show direction
of flow.
Make up 2 x fuel fittings.
Make sure clunk will reach all
corners of tank.
When you cut copper pipe, make sure to ream ends
for better operation.
Fit fitting to tank. Tighten bolt and do an air test. Make
sure no leaks are present. Do not over tighten bolt.
Silicon glue bottom tank to bottom of fuselage and
inlet duct.
Silicon glue top tank on plywood mount above intake.
Install UAT on bottom of fuselage in front of bottom
tank.
Plumb tanks with tygon tubing.
Fill and drain tanks! Check that no air are trapped in
tanks. UAT must drain last and stay full of fuel all the
time during draining.
