Section 13. Assembling And Installing The Fuel Tank - Hangar 9 EDGE 540 Instruction Manual

Section 13: Assembling and Installing
Parts Needed
• Clunk (Fuel Pickup)
• Tube (vent)
• Tube (fuel )
• Silicon fuel tubing
• Fuel tank
• Plastic cap (large)
• Plastic cap (small)
• Rubber stopper
• 3 mm screw
• 3 mm nut
Step 1. Locate the fuel tank parts.
Step 2. Locate the rubber stopper. Insert on of the tubes into an
open hole in the stopper so an equal amount of tubing extends
from each side of the stopper. This tube will be the fuel pickup
tube that provides fuel to the engine. Slide the smaller plastic
cap onto the tube at one end, so that the three tabs will face
inside the tank. (These tabs will hold the 3mm nut in place later.)
Slide the large plastic cap over the tube and against the rubber
stopper. It should be orientated so that the "raised center" faces
away from the stopper.

the Fuel Tank
Tools and Adhesives Needed
• Hobby knife with #11 blade
• Phillips screwdriver
• Tubing bender (optional)
• Tubing cutter (optional)
Step 3. Locate the other tube. This will be the vent tube. Bend
one end up about 60 degrees but no more than 90 degrees.
Caution: You can use your fingers to bend the tubing, but be
careful not to kink the tubing. If you have access to a small
tubing bender, use it to make the bend. Refer to photo below.
Step 4. Slide the vent tube into the other open hole in the
stopper and caps.
Note: An option is to trim the length of the vent and fuel pickup
tubes with a tubing cutter. This makes a neater job.
