Default Fueling valve Question !!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

Ok a stupid question but can anyone explain how you instal a Easy Fueling Valve, the instructions say to mount in on the cowl !!!!! how do you do this !!!!!!, is it so only one tube is visible ? and how do you keep it attached and which tubes go to which.

Also an insight to how does it work will behelpful, Can u use the vaule for draining the fuel also ?

Sorry thiers soo many questions lol, just thiers no instructions with it and im planning on using it on my Spitfires cowl.

Thx in adavamce.

It really needs to be mounted somewhere on the firewall with the face of the valve flush with the cowl. Cut a round hole in the cowl to allow the fuel nozzle to be inserted. Yes, you also empty the tank thru the valve. Pump a small amount of fuel thru it before installing to see which fitting goes where. The side that fuel comes out of with the nozzle inserted obviously goes to the tank.

I used part of a sink stopper linkage rod to mount my fueling valve.I bent the rod into a L shape then bolted the rod to the firewall, and drilled out one of the holes on the linkage to fit the refueling valve. It fits flush with the inside of the cowling.All that was needed at that point was to drill a hole in the cowl where the fuel valve lined up.It worked out great.
