the weighted pick-up should rest away from
the rear of the tank and move freely inside the

the top of the tank.
 6) When satisfied with the alignment of
the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pands and seals the tank opening. Do not
overtighten the assembly as this could cause
the tank to split.
FUEL TANK INSTALLATION.
You should mark which tube is the vent
and which is the fuel pickup when you
attach fuel tubing to the tubes in the
stopper. Once the tank is installed inside the
fuselage, it may be difficult to determine which
is which.
