INSTALLING THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY.
1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut
off the rear portion of one of the 3 nylon
tubes leaving 1/2" protruding from the
rear of the stopper. This will be the fuel
pick up tube.
2) Using a modeling knife, cut one length
of silicon fuel line. Connect one end of
the line to the weighted fuel pick up and
the other end to the nylon pick up tube.

Vent tube.
Fuel fill tube.
3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube
up at a 45º angle. This tube is the vent tube.
4) Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some
ofthe flashing around the tank opening
using amodeling knife. If flashing is pre-
sent, make sure none falls into the tank.
5) With the stopper assembly in place,
the weighted pick-up should rest away
from the rear of the tank and move freely
inside the tank. The top of the vent tube
should rest just below the top of the tank.
It should not touch the top of the tank.
6) When satisfied with the alignment of
the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper
expands and seals the tank opening. Do
not overtighten the assembly as this could
cause the tank to split.
FUEL TANK INSTALLATION.
You should mark which tube is the vent
and which is the fuel pickup when you
attach fuel tubing to the tubes in the
stopper. Once the tank is installed inside
the fuselage, it may be difficult to deter-
mine which.
