Default RE: ZIROLI F9F PANTHER BUILD

Yo Rich,
Thanks for the tip.
pic 1:
I saw that in the manual and got the gas filter mounted vertically.
The propane is mounted at about a 45 degree angle: I figured that it's only for 'startup' and the worst that can happen is a 'shut down' on the ground.
VAT at 45 degree angle to insure no air bubbles.

================
Assembly (cont)

pic 2/3:
11 oz sullivan saddle tank and Dick Bennett's 64 oz tanks.
Saddle tank stopper replaced with gas compatible plug and all 5/32" tubing used for the large flow needed for turbines. Also, 5/32" brass tubing used to the clunkers to insure they don't ever bend forward.

pic 4/5:
Three velcro straps holding the two tanks to the tank tray.
Flow from turbine (via the pump and shut off valve[manual & ECU controlled) to VAT to saddle tank to 64 oz tank. (some plastic ties yet to be done on the tubing connections)

Turbine connections.

pic 7:
The only thing left is to secure the on/off switch, ECU I/O interface and air filler.
