YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING PARTS FROM THE KIT:
❑
(1) 360cc Fuel Tank
❑
(1) Large Diameter Metal Plate
❑
(1) Small Diameter Metal Plate
❑
(1) Rubber Stopper
SECTION 12: FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
❑
(1) Fuel Pick-Up "Clunk"
❑
(1) 3mm x 20mm Machine Screw
❑
(1) Silicon Fuel Tubing
❑
(2) Aluminum Tubing
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING TOOLS AND SUPPLIES:
❑
Ernst Airplane Stand
❑
Ruler
❑
220 Grit Sandpaper w/Sanding Block
Step 1: Assembling the Rubber Stopper
❑
Using 220 grit sandpaper, carefully smooth and deburr each end of the two aluminum tubes. This will prevent the fuel
tubing from being accidentally cut when it is installed later.
❑
Push the two aluminum tubes through the rubber stopper.
Slide the large diameter metal plate over the tubes at the front
of the stopper and slide the small diameter metal plate over
the tubes at the rear of the stopper.
❑
Using a ruler, measure the distance that the two aluminum
tubes protrude from the front of the stopper assembly. This
distance should be 3/8". If it is not, adjust the tubes by
pushing them forward or backward until you are satisfied with
the alignment.
❑
Secure one end of the silicon fuel tubing onto the end of
the fuel pick-up "clunk."
❑
Slide the silicon fuel tubing, with the fuel pick-up attached,
onto the end of the aluminum fuel pick-up tube (straight tube).
While holding the aluminum tube in place, adjust the length of
the silicon tubing until the fuel pick-up is 4" back from the rear
of the stopper assembly.
❑
Carefully bend the longer of the two aluminum tubes up at a 45º angle, being careful not to "kink" the tubing as you
bend it.
☞
When the stopper assembly is installed in the fuel tank, the top of the vent tube (the tube you just bent) should rest just
inside the bubble in the top of the tank.
❑
Push the 3mm x 20mm machine screw through the stopper assembly, from the front, and partially thread it into the
small diameter metal backplate.
