2) Push the two halves together and clamp in place.<br />

3) Do not install the fuel tank as shown in the photo below. This is the smoke tank mounted in<br />

front of the fuel tank(s). The fuel tanks are behind this tank on the CG.<br />

Fuel Tank Installation<br />

Below is a photo of the installation of 2 DuBro 50 oz fuel tanks. TBM now offers a 101 oz fuel tank<br />

suitable for use in the DV8R. If you install the TBM 101 oz tank some of the former needs to be<br />

relieved for installation on the CG. Aftermarket Kevlar tanks are also available. The two 50 oz tanks<br />

mount of their sides as shown.<br />

1) If installing the two 50 oz tanks, cut 4 pieces of Velcro 18” in length.<br />

2) Use hot melt glue to attach the Velcro to the top and sides (not the bottom) of the fuel tanks.<br />

Have the end pieces of Velcro hang down to wrap around the fuselage floor. This makes<br />

installation and removal very easy.<br />

3) The tank(s) are mounted near the CG. The front of the tank(s) is at the front of the former as<br />

shown in one of the following photos.<br />
