FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

1. Slide the brass tubed into rubber stopper. Carefully bend the longer
brass tube so it will be close to the top of the tank when the stopper
has been installed.
2. Prepare the brass tubes by placing small amounts of solder on the
end of the tubes shown. This will help keep the fuel lines secure
when installed.
 Use hemostats to act as a heat-sink to
avoid melting the rubber stopper.
 While this step is not essential, it makes
for a more secure fuel system.
3. Cut a piece of fuel tubing that will result in the end of the clunk
being 5 inches (127mm) from the back of the aluminum plate.
Secure the tubing to the clunk and stopper using thin wire. This will
keep the tubing from sliding loose inside the tank. Make sure to use
the clunk supplied with your engine.
 A second clunk can be installed to provide
a line to fuel/defuel your aircraft.
4. Insert the clunks into the tank. Install the larger clunk, then the small
clunk. Mark the lines from the tank so the fuel lines can be identifi ed
from outside the tank. Tighten the screw in the stopper using a #1
Phillips screwdriver.
 Check that both clunks can move freely inside the tank.
If not, adjust the tubing from outside the tank so they can
move freely to ensure consistent fuel flow to the engine.
5. Secure a 6-inch (152mm) fuel line to the fi ll, vent and clunk tubes of
the fuel tank. Tie wraps can be used to secure the fuel lines as an
alternative to wire ties on the outside of the fuel tank.
