Final fuel tank assembly
❑
44. Locate the metal fuel pick-up weight and the
medium silicone fuel tubing. Insert the fuel pick-up
weight (often referred to as the “
clunk
weight”)into
the fuel tubing. Compare the length of the fuel tank to
the length of the fuel tubing and cut the tubing so that
the fuel pick-up weight on the end of the fuel tubing
will not touch the end of the fuel tank. The plug
assembly can now be inserted into the tank. The
pressure tube should be adjusted so the tube is
pointed straight up just under the top of the tank.
Caution:
The pressure tube should not touch the top
of the tank or fuel shut off and engine failure may
occur. The stopper discs on the rubber plug can be
tightened by turning the self tapping screw. Do not
overtighten the plastic stopper plates or damage to
the tank may occur.
Installing the foam collar
❑
45. Locate the 1/4" x 7/8" (6 x 22mm) foam tank
collar. Remove the inner foam circle and place the
collar around the neck of the fuel tank.
Installing the tank
❑
46. Insert the fuel tank into the fuselage as shown
in the picture. Make sure the foam collar is seated well
against the firewall.
Orientation of the fuel ports
❑
47. Note the locations of the fuel ports. Cut three
fuel line lengths,(pressure line 4-1/2" (114mm),
carburetor
line 4" (101mm), fill line 2-1/2" (63.5mm)
from the medium silicone fuel line. Place the cut fuel
lines over the correct tubes. A small piece of scrap
plywood should be lightly glued behind the fuel tank
inside the fuselage to keep it from moving.
Do not
use
an excessive amount of glue in case the fuel tank
needs to be removed in the future .
