It is mandatory that you filter the gasoline from the source as it is pumped into the aircraft’s fuel

tank. Failure to do so can damage the carburetor and cause engine failure.

One may also place an in-line fuel filter between the aircraft’s fuel tank and the carburetor. The in-

line filter must not restrict the free fuel flow from the aircraft’s fuel tank to the carburetor. An in-

line filter must be periodically cleaned by back flowing clean gasoline backwards through the in-

line filter. Remove the in-line filter from the carburetor supply line prior to cleaning. Never, clean

backward into the aircraft’s fuel tank. Re-flush clean gas, forward through the in-line filter prior

to re-installing the filter in the aircraft.

Many good filters are available commercially, consult your local hobby shop.

FUEL POINT™

The Golden Skies R/C Aircraft, Fuel Point™ is specifically designed to make it easy to add gas to

the aircraft’s fuel tank. The Fuel Point™ consists for two components, 1) The barrel which

mounts to the aircraft cowl or fuselage, and 2) the “Plug” that seals the gas filling line and slips

into and out of the barrel. The plug is double O-ring sealed for security and has a removable flag

on the surface that may be used to indicate whether the aircraft has or has not been re-fueled. The

operation is to feed the Tygon® fuel line from the tank, through the barrel and attach it to the

plug’s barbed nipple. The plug is then inserted into the barrel for a smooth and sleek appearance

on the fuselage surface. When fueling, pull the plug from the barrel, detach the fuel line from the

nipple, and insert the fuel source nipple into the fuel source line. Fuel is then added to the tank,

until the fuel flows out of the vent line, indicating the tank to be full. Always “catch” the overflow

as to not pollute the environment.
