3. Top tank (1)
4 Tank accessories (3)
5. UAT (not supplied)

The fuel system is very important. Rinse tanks to get rid
of all debris. All fittings must be very secure. Any leaks
will cause bubbles in fuel line and subsequence flame
out. The copper pipes were cut by pipe cutter. The ends
will be closed slightly. Use a sharp object like a reamer
to open up the diameter of pipe. Make sure all off cuts
are removed. Sharp edges can cut tubing. Make sure
edges are not sharp. Pressure test all tanks!
Step 1. Plumb tanks by means of 2 copper pipes. Make
sure clunk are right at the back and move freely
inside.
Step 2. Mark tanks for inlet and outlet. (Note: You will
be surprised how easy we forget this.)
Step 3. Insert main tanks into fuselage. It can only go in
one way. Make sure up is up and down is
down. Use silicon to secure tanks.
Step 4. Insert top tank on top of main tanks.
Step 5. See picture. Use silicon to secure tanks in place.
Step 6. Secure all pipes with cable ties or clips
Step 7. Secure hopper feeder to UAT.
Step 8. Fill and drain tanks to check for air bubbles.
