Ⅴ.Fuel

.Fuel

Tank

Installtaion

Required Parts:

● Clusk (fuel pickup) ● Caps(2)

● Fuel Pickup tubing ● Fuel tank

● Rubber stopper ● M3x30 screw

2.Required

Tools

and Adhesives:

● Hobby knife Foam:1/4 ”

● Philtips screwdriver (small)

Note:

The

stopper

provided

with

the

Yak

has

three

holes

.The

holes

are

the

fuel

pickup,fill

and

vent

lines.You

can

use

two

holes:

One

for

the

fuel

pickup

and

one

for

the

fuel

vent

.

Only

open

the

third

hole

if

you

are

going

to

use

a

separate

fill

line.

Note

for

gas

engines:

While

the

stopper

is

OK

for

both

gas

and

glow,the

inside

fuel

tubing

supplied

is

for

gas

and

glow.

If

a

gasoline

engine

is

used,Use

tygon

tubing(not

included)for

all

lines

outside

the

fuel

tank.

3. Bend two fuel tubes carefully to a 45-degree angle using your fingers.These will be the fuel tank

fill

and

vent tubes.Use carefully not to kink the tube while bending.

4. Locate the rubber stopper. Insert the three metal fuel tubes into the holes in the stopper so that an equal

amount of tube exrends from each side of the stopper. The straight tube will be the fuel tank pickup that provides

fuel to the engine.

5. 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 M3x30 screws through the center of the stopper.

6. Locate the clear piece of tygon or siliecone fuel tubing and the fuel tank elunk. Cut the tubing to appropriate

length. Install the elunk onto one end of the tygon or silicone tubing. Slide the tubing (end opposite the cluck)onto

the fuel tank picku p tube (straight tube)in the stopper.

7.

Slide the tubing onto the metal tube which has been bent.

8.

Carefully insert the stopper assembly into the fuel tank. Note the position of the vent tube:it must be up at

the top portion of the fuel tank to function properly. Also,it may be necessary to shorten tank.

You

should be

able to turn the tank to any atti tude,and the elunk will fall to the lowest point

(all

directions except for having

the stopper facing down).

9.

Tighten the M3x20 screw carefully do not overly tighten. This allows the ruller stopper to form a seal

by

being slightly compressed,thus sealing the fuel tank opening.

Note

the

position

of

the

fill

tube:it

must

be

down

at

the

bottom

portion

of

the

fuel

tank,then

you

can

pick

up

fuel

when

you

end

your

flying.
