Step 1

Locate the items necessary to install the fuel tank in the fuselage.

Step 2

Inspect the fuel tank to determine the internal positioning

of the vent line. This is important as the vent line must face

to the top of the fuselage for the engine to run properly.

You may want to place a piece of tape on the tube that

corresponds to the vent line for easier identification later.
