From: "Kirby, Dennis Civ USAF AFMC AFNWC/ENS" I have a question for Chris Ambrose, in Michigan. Chris - can you please contact me off-list? Thanks - Dennis Kirby Sandia Park, NM Do not archive ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:59:00 AM PST US Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Larger, one-piece fuel tank for a Mark-3 From: "Kirby, Dennis Civ USAF AFMC AFNWC/ENS" << Dennis.Kirby wrote: I am looking for suggestions and recommendations for installing a new, larger-capacity fuel tank in my Mark-3 Classic. >> 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! Dennis K.

If so, m aybe if I ordered one too, we could defray their costs by doubling the order ..

I'll have to find out exactly what needs cut before I would commit to that.
