Main and Hopper Tank
CARF Models offer an optional molded Fiberglas or
Kevlar fuel tank of 5.2 ltr capacity, which is installed
in the fuselage on the CG . The tank is molded with
a deeper rear trough to retain fuel towards
the end of the tank and a blister in the front
forward section for the vent to go up to allowing
maximum fill capacity.
Before starting assembly of the molded tank it is
important that any manufacturing debris left
over in the tank is washed out. Washing the tank
with warm water and some washing detergent
works well. Ensure the tank is completely dry before
you assemble it.
Use Tygon tube for the clunk line, where the
clunk line passes through the baffle insert a
section
of brass tube as the glass fiber edge can easily cut
through the tygon tube. The supplied soft clunk
will
become heavier when charged with fuel and easily
reach all areas of the fuel tank.
Affix a small piece of tygon to the top pf the
breather
pipe cut at an angle on sides.
so there is less chance of the breather being
obstructed. The breather should be fashioned to
so
the top protrudes into the blister at the top of the
tank made for this purpose.
