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. -------- See you OSH '13 Q/B - flying 3 yrs.
