DLM,
Thanks for the info.
All in the list,
I'm attaching the Word document where the results are included. For most part they are in-line with our expectation. However, some questions still need to be answered. I know that I got a lot of criticism for my initial thread content, but we all got to learn a lot of points. These results are for you all to see and comment (positive, negative, devil's advocate type etc). This email group is great even though I get rough replies...but those replies are all interesting and something to learn from as they are from different perspectives and appreciate those perspectives...good points to gather before I take my own decision. Thanks.

Subject: extra fuel tanks
I spoke with Jim Younkin today about their extra fuel tanks on the 10. He stated that the proper contact is John Nys of Tulsa. They have an extra tank outboard of the mains and a ball check valve installed in the area between the tanks. Flow between tanks is gravity and the valve can be opened/closed externally. Therefore no wiring or transfer pumps are included. The outboard tanks have vented fuel caps but no other vent. Long range flight means closing the valves , filling all tanks and then opening the valves before takeoff. Standard use of the fuel selector should provide for balancing the fuel load.
