| Subject: | Re: Extended Tankage |
I am most entertained at the response to my fantasy flights across the Pacific
in my RV10.
I have received several private communications on the subject. One person has an
auto racing style plastic fuel tank in the back of his RV10 (removable) and
auto racing style quick-connect-dripless connectors. Several people have mentioned
that the standard Van's fuel valve has a 4th position that has a plug in
it on the stock set up. This fact, we all should know from our annual inspections.
Several RV10's have tip tanks fitted. There is also an RV10 out there with a 90
gallon internal tank fitted to the back seat and back seat foot well - wow! I
was told that it is well baffled and fitted close to the front seats in deference
to the CG. They made a mock up first to make sure that the tank would fit
in the door. Lots of anchoring calculations. The life raft goes on top of the
tank.
Hilo here I come. Goodbye to those overpriced flights on American, United and Hawaiian
airlines.
