Man I need to get back to work on mine. Of course, it would also be nice to be home!
Update: All the tanks and fuel lines are installed.
I am using a header tank, one tank is 1 liter, the other tank is 700 ml. total of 1700 ml.
This should give me 17 minutes of flight, although, I never do this. I will fly 3 sequences in 14 minutes. SO this should be plenty of gasoline.
Equivalent to 57 ounces of gasoline.
I am also using a T, that has ID of 3/8". One tank (the header tank), has one clunk. From the PSP cap, there is a short fuel line, then the T. From the T, there is one Viton fuel line for each carburetor. Both of these fuel lines are the same exact length. The header "vent" hole, then feeds into a clunk into the 2nd tank. AS I fill the gasoline into the main (header) tank, fuel overflows thru the tank's vent, into the smaller tank's clunk. Both tanks have felt clunks. Then the smaller tank has a "vent" which has a Tygon line that exits out the bottom of the fuselage thru a brass tube.
I have also installed my McFueller, and all the electronics. I will spend the next few days, making all the wiring as tidy as possible.
There are two sets of IBEC, one for each ignition. And each IBEC plugs into its own port in the central box.

Doc.... Before you fly, check (with the canopy off) to see if the sides of the larger tank collapses when you rev the engine on the ground.
