Long range tanks
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:47 am
Hi All !
Met these folks at Oshkosh - they make flexible
fuel tanks for long trips. These tanks can be mounted
almost anywhere - or just strapped onto a seat !

This might be a better solution than building your
kit with oversized tanks - for those few long trips !
Really large tanks can be a problem because of condensation
accumulation if partially filled, also, lower levels
may cause flow problems - 10 gallons in a 100 gallon
tank is not very deep ! ;-) It's also no help to
performance to be carrying around an extra couple of
hundred pounds of unneeded fuel for local flying ...
Just another suggestion !
