For those of you who replied on your experiences in swapping out the tank in the  fully built plane, thanks a bunch it has driven me to not dred the  job.  I am one of those guys who goes with the adage of "well if those guys can do it I certainly can".  Jim B I will probably give you a call to get some more detail on the joint you described with the "recess".  If anyone else can expand on the joint that gets the mess together in a structurally sound manner please do so.

  

 Now for the real question.  Ever since Europa Lakeland went away with John Hurst I had blown off the idea of getting OEM parts and just figured I would fab every thing myself.  A fuel tank would be kind of tricky, though I do have a buddy who is a real artist when it comes to welding aluminum (or aluninium for you other guys).  Has anyone done this? Making the seat back 2  to 3 inches higher with a higher tank would give better back support with an increase in capacity. 

  In any case does the tank have to be ordered from the UK or is Custom Flight Creations down in Florida actively selling parts and aircraft?

  

 Thanks,

  

 Steve

Attached is a  picture, taken in 2003,  of an Ali tank which I believe was made for Nigel  Graham.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  Steve,

 I am your Europa Dealer hear in the US since January of this year.   Check the Europa Website and mine, customflightcreations.com.  I typically  don't way in on the matronics site as I have enough business of my own.  If  you need a tank just email Roger at Europa in the UK or me at my  website and we will get you a price and any spares you may need...   Shipping on the tank will be via DHL and will add to your cost, but the new  tank will drop right in unless you have a burning desire to build a new  one.  Both Roger and I ship direct to save time and cost.

  

 Roger takes credit cards and I take checks.  Time to get parts is the  same.

 Choice is yours.
