Hi all,

First day of the new year, I think it's time for my first post on this forum. [8D]

I'm currently building my first plane and all the posts in this forum have been tremendously helpfull, so thank you to all the experts here!

I'm buidling a Sig Kadet Mark II and have a question re. fuel tank placement. The tank I have (8 oz) is different from the one used in the manual and I have to improvise a bit on how to place the tank. Now my question is what are the parameters I need to consider for this?
For instance does it make a difference for the tank to be higher/lower/same height as the engine? If it has to be appr. same height I somehow need to construct a tankfloor in the plane, if it doesn't make a difference it's easier for me to install the tank near the bottom of the plane...
Related to this, is there a limit to the length of the fuel lines? (I'm using a .40 engine)

Also am considering the use of an easy fuel nipple, anybody have experience with this? Good idea to use this, bad idea? Suggestions on placement?

I welcome any advice you can provide!

Thank you and happy new year from the Netherlands,

Johan
