My preference would be for a 5 gal tank so that I could mix & pour the exact amount I need to top the tank (without spending half a day at the pump), but I don't think one would fit through the cross bars behind the seats. The one gallon "mixer" tank could work as long as you can accurately guess how much fuel will be going into the wing tank. If you did a lot of trips, I suppose the best option would be to reinstall the oil injector system. thanks for the input, Ryan -------- Ryan Wheeler Kitfox IV-1200 Indianapolis, IN Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=326222#326222 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:33:45 AM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: Collapsible tank From: "Tom Jones" > If you did a lot of trips, I suppose the best option would be to reinstall the oil injector system. I finally installed an oil injection system last winter. It makes fueling much less hassle. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=326224#326224 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:01:05 AM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: Collapsible tank From: "Roger Lee" When I had my other plane a number of years back I just purchased a 6 gal. gasoline rated bladder tank. Hooked up a fuel pump to it and when I was flying and my fuel in the mains got low enough I just hit the switch and transfered the 6 gals. to my main tanks. Then I had it on the fuel gauge. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

Fill to this mark and then add the mixture from the one gallon tank. If you have two wing tanks you are obviously gonna have to figure out the most time efficient way to do both. Maybe mix a gallon batch, put it in a tank, top off that tank and the next one to the 1 gallon mark, fill the mixer again and then you are done with the pump. Just spit balling here. If you can add an oil injector I would go that route. Mine holds enough for a flight out, a refueling, and the flight back. You are obviously already carrying oil with you which you can still carry in case you need more then two bags of gas for your cross country. -------- James Kitfox 3 / 582 / 70" IVO 2 blade GA 50 hrs on the Fox in between deployments, now she lies in wait Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=326325#326325 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 05:24:51 PM PST US From: Malcolm Brubaker Subject: Kitfox-List: junk wings on barnstormers yes i still have some stuff left from the speedster. but the wings tanks an d =0Atips are the big items and I am ready to move them now.=0A-a coulpe houndred bucks gets it all- including a nice tail wheel dolly- call =0A for pics---- mal-=0A=0A-Malcolm Brubaker =0AMichigan Sport=0APi lot Repair =0ALSRM-A, PPC, WS=0A(989)513-3022 =0A=0A=0A=0A=0A______________ __________________=0AFrom: Roger Lee =0ATo: kitfox-lis t@matronics.com=0ASent: Mon, January 10, 2011 9:57:13 AM=0ASubject: Kitfox- ee" =0A=0AWhen I had my other plane a number of years back I just purchased a 6 gal. =0Agasoline rated bladder tank.
