Step 2
Locate the rubber stopper. Insert the shorter metal fuel
tube into one of the holes in the stopper so that an
equal amount of tube extends from each side of the
stopper. This tube will be the fuel tank pickup that
provides fuel to the engine.

Step 3
Slide the smaller cap over the tube on the smaller end of
the rubber stopper. This end will be inserted into the fuel
tank. The larger cap is placed on the side of the rubber
stopper that makes the cap. Loosely install the M3 x 20
screw through the center of the stopper.
