GAS FUEL TANKS 101 Trouble-free setup & maintenance • No matter whether you fly a warbird, IMAC, Cub, or 3D airplane, if it has a gas engine you need a properly constructed, gasoline compatible fuel tank and fuel system to feed it. Properly installing and maintaining your tank and fuel system are key elements to ensure that when you land it’s with the engine running. I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but inadvertent engine shutdown almost always occurs at the worst possible phase of flight such as in a low hover, when the plane is downwind, or over trees or water. Paying attention to detail where your fuel system is concerned will minimize these potential issues.
