Title kinda says it all, but what are the pros and cons of each? Is there a majority
that favors one over the other? Bare in mind I don't even have a set of
plans yet so this is just one of a million questions that I have after spending
hours on various Air Camper forums, web sties, and YouTube.

Todd,
Since I had decided to build my Aircamper as a one-seater, I put the fuel tank
in what would have been the passenger's seat. When I test ran the engine on the
gear, it ran fine. I measured the fuel rate and it was pretty high, about
10 gal/hr IIRC. However, when I measured the flow rate at a takeoff attitude
(17 deg. I think), the flow rate plummeted. It wasn't even close to the minimum
required, which is twice the full-throttle consumption. So, I toyed with the
idea of putting in an electric fuel pump but I had already done my electrical
system. Also, if you have an electric fuel pump you probably want redundancy
and that just complicated the issue, so I ended up fabricating a fuel tank
and putting it up in the center section.
A couple of notes; your fuel system needs to be carefully designed to prevent water
collecting in it. Please read about Kevin Purtee's incident with water in
the fuel system. Second, if you do put the tank up in the center section, please
read William Wynne's article on how to properly brace parasol-wing airplanes.
If you place the fuselage tank right behind the firewall, it should work, I think
a number of builders have placed it there.
Hope this helps, and best of luck.

Forum is a unique chance to speak the maximum number of people in the minimum amount
of time, so let`s get to work. Yes, I knew you`d know the casino where I
can test for absolutely all irish casino slots online (https://irishcasinomaxi.com/online-casinos/new/)
(slot machines) that they have presented. This is the
world-famous Byk Of RA (Books) - the Book of RA, and the Crazy Monkey video
slot known by many gamblers, and of course, the Pyramids. I look forward to your
suggestions, I can`t wait to try my luck.
