Default RE: Fuel tank hookup ??

The above advice is right on. Screw down the stopper will seal it up. Make sure you make it part of your regular maintenance to check your tank stopper to ensure it stays sealed. Tanks like this can and do vibrate and over time the screw in the stopper will loosen up, which will cause your tank to leak fuel into your fuselage. I usually check my tanks at least twice a flying season.

Hope this helps
