| Good idea Paul, but I would would have kept the the drains
separate.

Hi Tom/Gang:
I don't think Paul will mind if I respond to your suggestion.
Paul has looped the fuel line around the tail boom with the drain in
the bottom. Only has one fuel tank. So.......fuel is coming down one
side and back ukp the other.
I did this with my MKIII when I built it. However, I was not near as
fancy as Paul. Instead of the machined block of aluminum, I put a "T"
fitting, then ran a drain line forward to the lowest point of the
fuselage, which was between the gear legs. Near the end of the drain
line and inside the fuselage I installed a Briggs and Stratton nylon
fuel shut off valve. Works great.
Take care,

OOOPS!
Put my foot in my mouth. Sorry. I thought it had two fuel tanks.
Shows you I have a lot to learn. Some Kolbs have 2 tanks don't they?

Hi Tom/All:
Yes, the standard configuration for the Kolbra is two plastic jugs.
Same for the MKIII and the FSII.
Ten gallons won't get you very far, so a lot of us come up with much
larger fuel systems.
Take care,
