Fuel Tank
1.
Collect the following items
(1) fuel tank
(1) rubber tank stopper
(1) clunk
(1) 3mm x 25mm screw
(1) cap washer large
(1) cap washer small
(2) 3mm x 40mm brass tube
(1) 3mm x 60mm brass tube
2.
Insert the 3mm screw through the center hole
in the large washer, through the center hole in
the rubber washer against the large side, and
screw the small washer on the back side.
3.
Insert the brass tubes through three of the
holes. They should be arranged so as the long
one will be on the right side of the plane and
the short one on the left side.
The tubes should extend out the front of the
cap 5/8”. Bend the long tube up at about a 20
degree angle. This should be adjusted so the
end of the tube almost touches the top of the
tank when installed.
4.
Install the 4mm silicone tube to the short brass
tube and install the clunk to the other end of
the silicone tube. This is the fuel pickup and
must be free to“flop” around in the tank so it
can pick up fuel in any attitude.
(note: If you use gasoline you must use
neoprene fuel line, glow fuel use
silicone fuel line.)
5
.
Install the assembly into the tank so the vent
tube is turned up to the top of the tank. Tighten
the screw to expand the rubber cap.
Don’t over tighten or you could split the tank.
