Hey Bill,
FWIW, those fuel tanks that come with arfs are
usally junk (leak around the bung). They just
bag up yhr cheap parts and make you assemble
them. Let us know how it goes,Good Luck.
Bob
As cheap as they may be, I've never had one leak if it was correctly assembled, and that on over 40 very inexpensive ARF's.
I've only ever goofed up one.
You may want to check how you are assembling them.
Are you removing the excess plastic?
Are you permitting the expansion of the stopper to create a seal?
Do you tie off the tubing?
Thanks,
Not tieing off the tube fittings , sure the stopper is installed correctly, but with the dead sticks I had last weekend with my trainer, makes me wonder if something fuel related is going on. Not sure, but for this one I'll tie the fittings. I like the sullivan clear tanks, but LHS doesn't carry them, there is no doubt with them that the piping is right and it's easy to see the clunk. I just finished cutting out the cowl, doesn't look too bad for a rookie. But could've done better.
