Alf Olav Frog
Yes, there is an article in one of the EAA Sport Aviation magazines... can't
recall which issue but there pictures and everything describing the
manufacturer and installation of the "tube" tanks. The tanks are placed in
the wing with supports and plumming.

| Subject: | Dangerous ER fuel tanks? |
Hi!
Thank you builders for the web adr to the Safe Air1 company who sells ER-fueltanks
for RV's. Those tanks looked GREAT!
However; I got an interesting thought from a builder who wrote that these tanks
were potentially dangerous.
He said that during spin, the fuel would be sloshed to the outboard end of the
fueltank thus making it difficult or impossible to revover from a spin.
OK; so intentionally spins in a RV with partially full ER-tanks isn't something
you would do, but some sunny day one maybe could get into an UN-intentionally
spin.... and THEN what??
Have anyone some info regarding this?
It would also be nice to hear from someone who has installed the ER-tanks! Was
it complicated etc
Not to mention if anyone has done spintesting with those tanks....
Best regards Alf Olav Frog / Norway

Alf,
The ER tanks are not made for everyday flying. You have to be a serious cross
country RV driver to consider them anyway. Most of your flying time they will
be EMPTY. Has your friend performed test on these tanks to prove his theory?
;-)

I'm not a physicist, but wouldn't throwing the weight of the fuel
outboard actually slow down the rate of the spin...sort of like when an
ice skater extends her arms to slow down or folds her arms to speed up?
Wouldn't this make it easier to recover from a spin????
Just a thought...

Saw the SB, my only question would be how does one drill the nut and install
the safety wire? To drill the nut and install the wire that would interfere
with the threads would it not?
Considering I am working on the wings now.I would like to know.

A properly torqued flare nut will not come loose. Lock it down and be done. There
are some good instructions on this Thread on the Vansairforce.net if you wish
to punish yourself.
