A tank is coupled to a body assembly of the fuselage of an aircraft with a lug of the tank mounted on a pin coupled to a body assembly. The pin is marked using a special tool with a first location mark and a second location mark. The lug of the tank may be mounted on the pin. To verify that the tank is correctly located on the pin, the position of the lug may be compared to two marks disposed on the pin. When the respective marks are visible on either side of the lug, the tank is properly aligned on the pin and the tank can be secured to the body assembly. The process is particularly helpful when the pin is located in an area that is inaccessible for direct observation or measurement after the tank is in place.
