Default Fuel tank alignment

Hey,

Building my first scratch built plane. Where should the centreline of the fuel tank be in relation to the carburettor?

Cheers

The centerline of the tank should be at the same level as the high speed needle or no more than 3/8 lower. Just a rough rule of thumb here follow what your engine manual tells you and you be just fine.
