I am making a aux tank for a CJ 6 and want some advice. A
good friend is a composite guy for a living will make the tank. Plan
on using the radio bay rack area. Tank would slide in the rack area
from the side panel just like the radios used too. Size would be as
big as the side panel hole, 14.5 x 10 x 33. Holding the 21 gal
tank would be the ridge in the back that the rack used , pin thru the
fitting on the tank like the rack used, and the outside wall of the
tank would be have 12 screws holding it to the fuselage The side
wall of the tank would be flared out 3 inches on the fuselage. The
gas cap would be on top. Any gas spill would be outside the fuselage.
Drag in the coke bottle area should be low from advice of a aero
engineer. The vent would go to the battery vent tube that is not used
with a sealed battery. Two 28 volt fuel pumps will be mounted on the
back of the tank. They will have quick disconnect hoses and
electrical. Access to the hoses / elec would be thru the left battery
access panel. Tank should slide out and the old panel replaced in ten
minutes. Only mod to the airplane would be hoses from the tank to
each main tank and two power switches/ harness for the pumps. CG
looks good and it leaves space for baggage behind the copilot.
battery and inverter are untouched.
My question to all is there any reason this won't work. Cost
will be under 1000 dollars . The key seems to be a custom tank to
make the most of the radio rack area with out mod to the airplane.
Most of the time the tank would only be in during X/C.
