Default Fuel line plumbing help

Could someone suggest how to plumb my fuel lines.
It is a 24 OZ and a 40 Oz with a map tank.
Thanks

Easy, top tank vent to outside of plane, top tank clunk to bottom tank vent, bottom tank clunk to one of the side nipples on the UAT. The other side nipple is your fill and the nipple in the center goes to the turbine pump.

Get a 5/32 cap for the 24oz tank too ( or drill out black plastic and change tubes)

You also have a HiFlow MAP, a Std would probably have done and pipes would be easier to fit. You will need the Dubro 5/32 solder barbs on all the brass tank tubes for a good seal.

I would go a bit larger on the tank lines, get closer to the 6mm as possible at least 4mm

Why don't you tell them that you are ex-military so your answers should be considered superior to other answers?

While that has nothing to do with this post nor did I suggest anything like you bs comment suggest, I find that extremely funny considering you just did that on RC.groups yesterday with your expert opinion since you are and I quote "retired paramedic/fire fighter" and I can remember no less than two dozen post where you have claimed your past professions give you insight to being right on about something. Get the heck out of here with your typical BS, that is the exact worthless forum troll crap that has gotten you banned more times than anyone can count.

Thanks for being worthless and ruining yet another post.
