Fuel Tank

The fuel tank is not difficult to install.  It may be even easier, however, if it is done before installation of the seat belt/shoulder harness and the stringers.  The shoulder strap is only slightly in the way and the fuselage stringers make it a little more difficult to drill through the upper tanks gussets.   If your like me though and like to follow the order in the manual, you will not have a problem.  The only question on installation I have is that it list four bolts, four nuts and only 3 large area washers for the installation.  Seems like there should be four.  I think I'll add the last washer!  Pix below!

Notice in picture #3 the clearance between the elevator bellcrank and the fuel tank.  Picture #4 shows the mounting of the fuel tank and the large area washer.
