We use 1" holes on the bottom but you can go a bit bigger if you like. Get the finger strainers from spruce that will go in the tank, get a socket that fits them and size the hole to be able to insert the socket onto the strainer and make sure you will be able to remove the strainer in the future if needed. Same for the vent fitting on top. No strainer there but be sure it is big enough to install the fitting.

Kevin Kimball, Vice President

Re-awakening this old thread from 2010.....with some more questions to clarify the top wing tank area prior to varnish.
- Can anyone suggest a trick to mark where to cut the the four fuel strainer holes in the bottom and the two holews in the top tank cover for the filler neck and the vent? I was thinking of getting some NPT threaded plugs and cutting points on them with the lathe, then I could screw them into the tank and dent the wood where I need to drill. No idea on the top cover though other than measure and sneak up on it with undersized holes and a lot of test fitting as I hog it out.
- I didn't drill any drain holes in the center section tail rib bays aft of the wing tank near the hand hold. Do we worry about condensation building up there?
Also a couple hardware questions:
- Am I correct in assuming I need four of the standard finger strainers shown below with the 3/8" male pipe thread and 1/4" female pipe thread? Not the larger ones.
<Clipboard-1.jpg>
- Also, what hardware is used for the top wing tank fuel vent?

Thanks in advance for the answers!Darin Bishop
