I am setting up a new plane and wanted to see if anyone has any warnings or suggestions.
Engine - 2 stroke tower .75
Muffler - Pitts
Fueler valve - great planes easy fueler

I was going to put the valve in between the engine and tank, but I noticed I would have to plug the overflow under the plane.

Would my setup in the picture work?

Do I have some of the lines mixed up? I wasnt sure if the line going to the muffler would be better off switched with the valve line.

No local hobby shop around, would like to finish this part soon.

thanks,
tracey

It would work but I would suggest a few changes. Throw the fueler away and get a fuel dot. Also I would run the filler line further back in the tank. I like to have the filler clunk end 1/4" before the carb clunk starts. I also would cut the vent line down a little and extend it with fuel line. This makes the stopper easier to get in the tank.
Again it will work like you have it. These are just my preferences.

Thanks, I will do that.
I may have to use the valve till i can get a fuel dot, I am attaching the revised picture.

Why use a clunk for your fill line, I have been flying me freestyle for a couple of years with no clunk on the filler line.

I believe the clunk on the fill line allows you to draw any unused fuel from the tank

silly question> any chance of the two clunk lines getting tangled during acrobatic flying?

I totally agree with the fuel dot. I have had a couple of the quick fuel valves go bad on me. The result is a deadstick. Good luck.
