In this video I show how to assemble an RC plane fuel tank, or at least how I assemble and rc plane fuel tank.
I show how I typically assemble a fuel tank for nitromethane rc fuel or "glow" fuel. Here I assemble a Sullivan 6 ounce tank, which is similar to a Dubro rc fuel tank. Sullivan and Dubro tanks are the two brands that I use the most and are good quality tanks.
NOTE, a viewer informed me that the harder thinner plastic tube is to help with bending the brass tube. Insert it into the brass tube before bending to help against kinks in the brass tube. Thanks for the comments!
I have been building, flying, crashing, modifying, and repairing radio control planes for many years and enjoy sharing what I do with the radio control plane community so I started RC Plane Tech channel.
My methods of building rc plane kits, maintenance, running engines and equipment, and flying are not the only way to do things. I always recommend checking other sources and learning from others. I do not consider myself an "expert" but just a guy who has been doing this stuff for a while and enjoys sharing what I know and learning from others.
I fly with Futaba radio equipment, OS Max engines and Saito engines, Master Airscrew Propellers and APC propellers, Sullivan RC fuel tanks and hardware, Dubro RC fuel tanks and hardware and typically run Morgan Omega and Powermaster glow fuels. I fly ARF rc planes, but I also really like to build rc plane kits including Balsa USA RC kits, House of Balsa, Royal and Marutaka RC kits, Sig RC Kits. I use Monokote and other RC covering fabrics.
