fuel tanks

Only about a 60 sec run time though.

Thanks for responses, Would it be expected to have a fuel filter if so which one and where do I get it?

Keep your fuel clean and you won't need one, but if you must try http://www.ebay.com/itm/Du-Bro-Silver-Aluminum-In-Line-Fuel-Filter-/350585474476?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item51a085cdac.

Welcome to CEF.
The starting instructions for the Surestart explain to open the needle and then use your finger to block the choke tube. Then hand turn the prop a couple of revolutions and the engine vacuum will pull fuel and prime the line. The height of the tank should be near the height of the engine centerline so it doesn't gravity flood, or so the engine doesn't have to work to pull the fuel uphill.

You can use a syringe until you get a tank. At least that will allow you to feed it while you do the break-in procedure.

Here is the engine manual:

Welcome to the site Luke. The vent on the assembled tank it placed upright, or , on the top of the tank stopper so fuel does not leak out.

I like the clear Sullivan Flextanks as opposed to the opaque white style. that way, as you bend your vent tube during construction, you can see where it is supposed to be placed at the top of the tank skin. Also the clear tanks allow you to see the fuel level easier when it is stuffed down inside a plane.

The Sullivan tanks come with instructions for assembly, where to place the vent, the bend in the brass tubing needed, ect.

At the bottom of the page there Luke, you will see the Flextank slant type and you can see where the vent tube needs to bend up into the molded bubble on the top of tank. I use the clear Flextanks and reccommend them to everyone. They are easier on you all the way around, from construction to use.
