This is a guess but I suspect that the odd assortment of serial numbers affected is due to the fact that not all Allegros are equipped with the wing tank option. I know the first two digits of the S/N are the year of manufacture and am guessing that the last three numbers are merely sequential numbers for all Allegros or Allegro kits coming from the factory. Where are you located? I guess somewhere in the deep south of the USA due to the BellSouth ISP. I used to live in Atlanta, GA.

Whatever the case, if you have the fiberglass tanks, beware. I had the fiberglass tanks in mine and only a couple of weeks after installing them they leaked, both sides. I was planning a long flight so filled both tanks in preparation for departing the following day, a Monday. The next two days it rained and on returning on the Wednesday found that about 15 litres had leaked out of the left tank and 5 litres out of the right. The result was extensive damage to the paint work on the underside of both wings and the left door was destroyed by the fuel running over it. I removed the tanks and pressurised them slightly before pouring soapy water over them. Both thanks had pinhole leaks in them. Fantasy Air have replaced the tanks with Aluminium tanks which look much better than the fiberglass ones. I havn't tried them yet as I still need to repaint the wings. Have just finished replacing the polycarb on the door.
