2. Now is the time to decide if you are going to fill the tank
through a fuel filling valve or whether you are going to use a
third line as a fill line. If you choose to use a fill valve, insert
two 12" [305mm] lengths of silicone fuel tubing through the
holes in the firewall. Pull the tubing into the radio
compartment of the fuselage. If you are going to use a third
line for filling, drill 1/16" [1.6mm] hole in the center of the
third nipple on the fuel tank. Clean any debris from inside of
the tank. Then insert three 12" [305mm] lengths of silicone
fuel tubing through the holes in the firewall. Attach the lines
to the fuel tank following the instructions with the fuel tank.
3. Remove the fuel tank top cover from the engine mount box.
This will assist you as you install the fuel tank. Pull the tank into
the fuselage by pulling on the fuel lines where they exit from the
firewall. Position the tank against the firewall by reaching into the
top of the engine mount box. Re-install the engine. Attach the
vent line to the muffler and the fuel pickup to the carburetor. The
lines from the fuel tank should be just long enough to reach the
carburetor and the muffler. Cut the lines as needed. When
everything is positioned, re-attach the fuel tank cover.
