Kolb Friends -
Thanks to all who responded to my Fuel Tank question!
I now have a few options to investigate. Travis at Kolb tells me they
still have the patterns to fabricate a one-piece aluminum tank (approx.
15 gal) for my Mark-III Classic, but they haven't built one since the
early-2000s. (Seems like that could still be a popular option, for new
kit buyers.) Their metal-fab wizard Dennis Jackson could build it.
Would require cutting a few steel tubes to get it in - not that big a
problem. Am considering that option.
Thanks Boyd, for sending pictures and detailed descriptions of your
Kolb-factory 16-gal tank, from the mid-1990s!
Rev Pike - your homemade above-the-cabin fiberglass tank fits nicely.
Sadly, I have no fiberglass skills or experience to build such a beauty.
So I'll hafta pass on that possibility, for my Kolb.
John H - I've seen your custom 25-gal tank before in Miss P'fer (at
Monument Valley). Definitely gives you enough gas - especially for
your kind of flying. But it's more than I think I want for my Mark-3
... lookin' more for 16 to 18 gallons capacity. But your tip for doing
a good job of slosh-coating the inside is well-taken!
Will let you all know how it turns out, when I make the choice!

Hey Dennis, does the one from Travis install without cutting tubes? If so, m
aybe if I ordered one too, we could defray their costs by doubling the order
.

Sorry, just reread your post and see there is cutting involved. I'll have to
find out exactly what needs cut before I would commit to that.

Hey Dennis
I would also be interested in the larger tank from Kolb. Keep me informed if you
don't mind.
Thanks
Bob
