	* Tack and weld the strainer extension tube to the tank, centered around the strainer hole.
	* Insert the strainer into the flange and insert it into the strainer extension tube – verify that it slides without binding or bottoming and that the flange is flush with the end of the tube. Remove the strainer from the flange, then tack and weld the flange to the tank.
	~~CAUTION: Keep the strainer away from the welding and flames, as its thin wires burn easily.~~
