Hi everyone,

I am in the process of installing new fuel lines on my Gyrobee. The gas tank (pictured) has some vertical tubing that appears to bridge the top/bottom of the tank.

Should this tubing be replaced? What is it's function?

Thanks!

Its a fuel gauge,I have one on my RAF on the outside of the cabin near the mast out of

the way. Yes I would change the tubing.




Best regards,
 
Yes ...clear fuel level siqht qauqe.

Really dumb on a semi-clear tank in which you can see the fuel throuqh the side of the tank. LOL
 
Use the best quality clear fuel line, so you can see the fuel level.
You can also mark it for gallons indication.

Also make sure the gourmets are in good shape and replace with caution.
Additives in fuel specially Ethanol makes plastic material hard and fuzzy.

Good Luck.
