The ideal fuel tank location is with the top of the tank 5-10 mm (1/4-3/8‘‘) above the needle valve. However, model design will usually require the tank to be located higher than this and there should be no trouble with such a tank location provided that you do not pursue spectacular aerobatics flight. If the tank is located high, fuel will flow into the carburettor when the tank is full. Therefore, pinch the fuel line with a clip, when the engine is not running, to prevent flooding and loss of fuel.
