Guys, have you ever tried to remove the tanks from the aircraft? There is a limit on tank size due to the geometry of getting the tanks in and out. There is a TON more room in there for more fuel, but no practical way to take advantage of the size without MAJOR modifications.
On a separate note, we are just a few weeks away from completing our fuel tank modification for the CJ-6. It will net 30 gallons per side, is aluminum, will require only minor reinforcement to existing structure, NO modification to the vent system, is designed by DoD contracted and former Boeing engineers, will be less $$$ per gallon than any other system available, and take less than a week to install. Will have final pricing and pictures available shortly....
Cheers,
Barry

Barry,

Actually Barry, yes. I have had both tanks out. It is indeed a major pain in the tail. I do believe that you could two aux size tanks in through the access door though. The best idea is just a frame that you assemble, with a bladder.
