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.
