Unfortunately, almost everything in that kit is useless and doesn't
apply to the -10. You will have to improvise most of it.

Michael,
I tested mine using Dan Checkoway's method, described here:
http://www.rvproject.com/20020710.html . It is quite sensitive to
atmospheric changes but should give a good feel.

You need to cut and paste the entire link, as it got truncated.

Sorry but I only had one valve, the blue cap and a description in my kit and thats ist. I wonder how you fit this to the standard fuel finger without additional hardware.
Thanks

Either I got a different kit, or we are looking at things differently,
because it worked for me. You put a balloon on the vent fitting and seal it
with a rubberband, put the tank fitting in the finger strainer and cap it
with the cap that comes in the kit, then put the little valve stem dealy
(technical term) in the sump hole, cap the tank with the filler cap and fill
with air until the balloon fills up and then check for leaks.
Hope this helps.

Hello Jesse,
my issue is actually that the finger strainer has an inside thread as well as the cap. So I guess I am missing the tank fitting? Did it come with the wing kit?

You use some of the standard AN fittings that probably are in your
kit to attach your fuel lines to. AN fittings is one area where
you may end up spending a bit extra and ordering varieties...if
you do anything non-standard, you'll be swapping one fitting for
another, and you'll have to order them. I think the ones in the
kit are just the plain straight AN6 nipple fittings.

It should have come with the kit as I remember. It is the 6D fitting that
has pipe threads on one side and flare fitting on the other side (no angle,
no "T", just the short straight one) and put the cap on that.
