SILICONE FUEL LINE
Heatproof silicone tubing of

is required for the connection
between the fuel tank and
engine.
FUEL PUMP
For filling the fuel tank, a simple,
polyethylene "squeeze" bottle,
with a suitable spout, is required. Model engine fuel is poisonous. Do not
allow it to come into contact with the eyes or
mouth. Always store it in a clearly marked
container and out of the reach of children.
Model engine fuel is also highly flammable.
Keep it away from open flame, excessive heat,
sources of sparks, or anything else which
might ignite it.
Reminder!
ELECTRIC STARTER BOX
For starting the engine.
It is not necessary for a recoil
starter version-i.e. 18CV-RX.

The somewhat violent changes of vehicle attitude
that occur in off-road running, combined with the
fact that, in buggy type cars, the fuel tank is often
located some distance from the carburettor, means
that fuel 'head' at the carburettor can vary and upset
running.Therefore,it is recommended that a muffler
pressurized fuel feed system be used.
Never run your vehicle without installing the air
cleaner. Dust and dirt that may otherwise be drawn
into the engine will rapidly shorten its life.
