Forward Fuel/Oil Tank:
The Forward Tank is divided between fuel and oil, assemble, prime and paint the two (2) halves of the
Forward Tank, if not done already. Glue the three (3) fittings the two outer are Fuel Line
Connections, however only the one next to the Fuel Tank Drain Valve will be connected. Note the
orientation of the Fuel Line Connections with the horizontal connections pointing to the Rear vertical
wall. Glue the Fuel Tank Drain Valve into the recess in the tank wall. On the top of the Fuel Tank glue
in place the two (2) Filler Necks with Caps and paint the Filler Necks to match tank and the Caps
Aluminum. See the picture below. Drill a 1/32" hole centered between the cap and base of the rear
Filler Neck to receive a copper line. The Fuel Gauges will be added after the Machine Guns are in
place.
Form a Copper Fuel Line from the top connection on the Switch and bend down past the Ammo Can
and back up in the corner; then position the Forward Tank in place and form the wire following the
contour of the Tank to the hole in the rear Filler Neck. Forming this line may require Tank removal to
form for a tight fit. Make sure the Fuel Gauge clearance is available. Once satisfied with line fit glue the
Line to the Filler Neck Hole only. Do not glue the Forward Tank to the Stringers yet. See the pictures
above.
With the Forward Tank in place form a line from the Fuel Connection on the bottom of the Tank to the
second connection on the Fuel Valve Adjustor. Make sure these connections are glued tight since
