❑
Slide the fuel tank into the fuel tank compartment, making sure that the bubble in the top of the fuel tank is toward the
top of the fuselage, then install the silicon fuel tubing to the aluminum tubes at the front of the tank.
Mark the ends of the silicon tubing "vent" and "pick-up" so you don't confuse them when it comes time to
connect them to the engine later on.
❑
To align the fuel tank properly, the back of the fuel tank
should be even with, or only slightly behind, the back edge of
the wing-mount bulkhead and the front of the fuel tank should
closely line up with the predrilled holes in the forward bulkhead,
so that the fuel tubing does not kink.
❑
To secure the fuel tank assembly into place, cut and install
pieces of foam rubber between the top and sides of the fuel
tank and the wing-mount bulkhead, and between the sides of
the fuel tank and the fuselage sides.

tubing is not kinked between the fuel tank and the forward bulkhead.
