John,
Perhaps I am being a bit old today, but why should you need a pressure test on
a container that is free to ambient pressure?

Please use extreme caution.
Light Aircraft fuel tanks do not get pressurized more than a few inches of
water pressure as they are vented. The tank must be filled and load teste
d to a minimum of a/c limit times 1.5. It must hold shape when tested.

Friends,
I found this site which lists service stations in the USA & Canada offering ethanol
free MoGas.
http://pure-gas.org/
Select your state or province and check for availability in your area.
Good luck! So far, I haven't found a source in my locality :-(

Frank,
I fitted Aeroleds wingtip strobes to mine and they fit straight onto the Wh
elen mounts. Have a look at
their Web Site. They are beautifully made and are available as TSO'd or E
xperimental.

Hi Frank
First off follow the old saying "Keep it simple", why four? I have been
flying my europa for 18 months and have not felt the need to increase the
number of xenon strobe lights from the one I have on the tail fin. Having
stated that, as I fly out of a very busy airfield with only an information
service I think I will fit landing light at some time, not so as to see at
night but to show a clear intention that I am planning to land.
A warning though we have landing lights fitted on to our Euro Fox glider tu
g
and all the pilots use them on approach, they were changed recently for led
s
and they were found to emit a lot of RF noise which required one of the
clubs electronic wizards fix.
Best of luck
Richard

Subject: Europa-List: Strobe system
Looking round for a strobe system and well done lots of reading, looked at
lots of different systems and am still confused. I want 4 strobes, 1 per
wing, fin and belly. I wanted to use an LED system and found X1100
Hide-A-LED Modules which if I have understood correctly can be linked up
with up to 20 led's and doesn't require a big power pack as this is built
into each of the leads coming from the LED itself including multi flash
option and they boast 1100+ lumens BUT I have read some reviews from people
who bought them and they aren't impressed saying they are not all that
during daylight and not that bright. Then I thought well just stick to the
normal xenon tube style. Once again building an aircraft is most defiantly
a
learning curve AND a very personal thing so my questions are what are peopl
e
using, xenon or led, do you wish you had the other? If you were or are stil
l
building what advice would you have given yourself in regards to wiring,
positioning (fin or fuselage)!
. Thanks one and all, Frank .

Hi Will,
Based on your note, Nye is recommending the 868. The cost is as follows.
50 gram tube: $49.95
100 gram tube: $69.95
I will cancel your order for the 374A. Can you also please post a revision
on the web site. I actually had another customer order the 374A based on
your posting. I will contact him with this new development.
Thanks,
Tom Madden

I am surprised to hear that the stock tank keeps it's shape under 6g's of
load. Was this test actually done when the kit was originally tested and
approved in Britain?
Cheers,

Pete,
The tank support holders on the front are a part of that testing. The
original tank bulged pretty well. The new tank is stiffer, but you've
heard my rant on tank support.

Just to play devil's advocate, whats the attraction of an aluminum
fuel tank over a plastic one, or a fiberglass one?
I am familiar with the problems with Europa's plastic tank, but that
does not mean aluminum is better. You are trading off one problem for
another.
On that thought, can a tank be 3D printed?
