The gas line or “hose” material must be Tygon® or a similar material that is completely
compatible with gasoline and the type of oil used. It is recommended that the gas line shown in
the “ACCESSORIES” section of this manual be used. This gas line is available from Golden Skies
R/C Aircraft, Inc. The gas or fuel lines inside diameter (ID) should be at least as big as the
carburetor’s inlet nozzle diameter. The tank is shown to be semitransparent so one may see the
plumbing inside the tank. The vent line is located on the outside-top of the tank and vents to the
bottom of the aircraft.
The preferred fuel tank, gas line plumbing, and Fuel Point connections are shown in the following
diagram. (See GS R/C Website for additional pictures)

FILTER, GAS
:
It is mandatory that you filter the gasoline from the source as it is pumped into the aircraft’s fuel
tank. Failure to do so can damage the carburetor and cause engine failure.
One may also place an in-line fuel filter between the aircraft’s fuel tank and the carburetor. The in-
line filter must not restrict the free fuel flow from the aircraft’s fuel tank to the carburetor. An in-
line filter must be periodically cleaned by back flowing clean gasoline backwards through the in-
line filter. Remove the in-line filter from the carburetor supply line prior to cleaning. Never, clean
