Default Durbo tanks at 90º?

Can anybody think of a reason why I "couldnt" mount one of the dubro fuel tanks at 90º?

By that I mean, its one of the tanks that has a "chin" under the stopper hole... so if that "chin" was on its side??


Doing this to the fuel tank is the only way I am managing to get a smoke tank into the space available in my plane!

As long as you point the vent up, it will work.

Agree with Carrellh, just route the vent tube to where its pointed UP. I've done it before with no problems.

You can mount it up side down if you wanted,, the only reason the "Chin" is there at all is so the tank can't move forward far enough to pinch the lines.
