 |
|
It's almost exactly 18 inches.
If anyone is interested, I have a very nice aux fuel tank that was designed for a Lancair but would fit nicely in the back seat area of a 10. It holds about 65 gallons. I don't need much for it.

If possible please measure the inside distance between the right and left lap belt attach points in the rear right seat. I am considering an extended range tank for that location and want to make sure the custom tank will fit. I plan on venting the tank through a static port part on the right side and plumbing the tank outlet into the right main tank.

Didn't someone recently post about a custom tank in the baggage area
right under the rear seat backs with around 12-13 gal capacity? Unless
going across a big pond, don't know how big the need is to carry more
than 70-75 gal for honest 5 hr range.

Yeah, you'd have to have a pretty special mission. This one was built for an ocean crossing but never used since the builder realized he couldn't put a semi-rigid tank in a pressurized cabin.
