Install The Fuel Tank - GREAT PLANES Waco YMF-5 Instruction Manual

Install the Fuel Tank

❏
1. Cut two pieces of glow fuel line and attach to clunks.
Make sure the fuel line isn't so long that gets caught on the
back of the tank. Build up the fuel tank as shown with the
vent line pointing to the top of the tank. You may want to use
a felt tip pen to mark which direction the vent line is pointed
so that you know where the top of the tank is when you're
installing the tank.
❏
2. Fit a rubber band to the former behind the firewall as
shown. When you install the fuel tank, route the lines and
then the tank above the rubber band (toward the top of the
model) as you stretch the rubber band under the bottom side
of the tank.
❏
3. Fit fuel lines to the tank and route the lines through the
hole in the firewall as you fit the tank. Be careful to make
sure that the vent line is pointed toward the top of the model.
Make a hook out of a piece of scrap pushrod to pull the
rubber band under the fuel tank.
❏
4. Slide the tank all the way forward and pull the rubber
band around the back side of the tank to hold it in place.
❏
5. Connect the fuel line to the engine. Connect an
aluminum fuel line plug to the fill/drain line. Temporarily fit
the muffler and connect the muffler pressure line. Trim the
excess line as needed, but leave extra length in the fill/drain
line.
