That is what I am going to do. The bottom is flat, but higher in the front than
the rear, and number more number less it will accept 12.4 gallons plus a litle
more in the back sump.
thanks to all.

For whatever it's worth now, here's a pic of my 22 gal. tank.
My center section is 36"wide and the tank is 32" wide. It does
rise above the wing about 2" as well. This way allows me to
keep the fuel line and shutoff really simple, smoothly
curved and in the open. No extra lines and 90 fittings
inside the fuselage and no hole in the firewall.

Is this tank metal or fiberglass? If metal,how did you make the sump area?
Fantastic work, no matter the material!
Thanks,

Thanks Ray. Fiberglass. The bottom is painted with
"chrome" paint. The top will be the same as the
wing.
