Feed three lines through the fuel tank
compartment and through the pre-drilled hole in the
firewall. Pull the lines out from behind the engine,
while guiding the fuel tank into place. Push the fuel
tank as far forward as possible, the front of the tank
should just about touch the back of the firewall.
Blow through one of the lines to ensure the fuel lines
have not become kinked inside the fuel tank
compartment. Air should flow through easily.

To secure the fuel tank in place, apply a bead of
silicon sealer to the forward area of the tank, where it
exits the fuselage behind the engine mounting box
and to the rear of the tank at the forward bulkhead.
Do not secure the tank into place permanently until
after balancing the airplane. You may need to
remove the tank to mount the battery in the fuel tank
compartment.
