Fuel pick up tube.
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.
When satisfied with the alignment of the
stopper assembly tighten the 3x20mm ma-
chine screw until the rubber stopper expands
and seals the tank opening. Do not overtight-
en 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 determine which is which.
Slide the fuel tank into the fuselage. Guide
the lines from the tank through the hole in
the fiewall.
