Thanks for your fast response.

I have everything in order when it comes to my fuel lines. I will recap tha way the metal elbows are inside the tank.

The fuel line inside the tank in a straight metal tube with the silicone tube on it as well as the clunk. Its on the bottom.
The fuel line with the shortest elbow in the refil line and its pointed down.
The fuel line with the the longer elbow is pointed straight up.
I also made shure the cap on the fuel tank is well tightened.

I hope this helps

Look at the attached diagram and it should explain how the lines should be connected. But brief, here it is:
The line with the clunk is the fuel pick up and should be connected to the fuel input on the carburetor
The line that points the to top of the tank is the vent/pressure line and should be connected to the pressure nipple on the muffler
The line that points to the bottom of the tank is the fill/drain line and should be plugged tightely when the plane is running.

Hope this helps

Ken
