Open bag 8
All the parts from bag 8.
Fit the fuel nipple using a 4 mm tube wrench.
Make sure the nipple is not obstructed by the
plastic that is moved when the nipple is placed.
Clearly visible the fuel spill drain around the neck of the fuel lid.
Make the front hole of the front fuel tank
mount an oval slit using a 3 mm drill bit in a drilling machine in the length
of the fuel tank. Take care during this procedure to work precisely. The
oval should be around 5 x 3 mm
Then mount the front fuel tank post using a 3 x 10 mm round head hexagon
screw using a 2 mm hexagon tool. Do not fully tight the screw but leave
some play so the screw can move in the slit. If you do not make a slit and
you tight down the screw fully the fuel tank might split at the seam when
the chassis deformed during a crash or hard landing.
Fit the rear fuel tank mounting post using a
3 x 10 mm round head hexagon screw using a 2 mm hexagon tool.
This fuel tank we measured at 121 cc.
Slide the fuel tank at it place under the
splash guard.
Secure the fuel tank to the chassis with 3 x
10 mm countersunk hexagon screws using a 2 mm hexagon tool at the red
marked spots.
The fuel tank need some
small rework to prevent it from splitting.
This could have been done at the factory.
Nice the fuel drain is incorporated in the fueltank.
