 |
|
I have a 20 gallon tank that fits thru the baggage door. I installed two extra bag floor ribs to provide hard points to strap it down. The supply and vent lines were plumbed in during the build. It’s plumbed the same as certified aux fuel systems, that is a pilot activated low pressure boost pump at the tank sends the fuel thru a check valve and into the left main tank, after you have burned enough out of the main tank. The mission for the extra gas (Vancouver Island to Alaska, with no fuel stops) no longer exists for me, but the system will be used for tankering for fuel cost savings. I highly recommend that anyone considering such a system take great care to insure the mounting of the tank is secure (for abrubt stops). I’m sure that can be accomplished with bladders as well, but I wouldn’t feel good about just throwing a seat belt over one. I vented my tank overboard, and I consider that a necessary design consideration as well. Anybody that would like to see pictures of my installation, send me an email, off the list.
