Looking at putting one in-the baggage area of my 18T-f or the longer trips. Interested in any plumbing details.=0A-=0ARegards, =0A-=0AYak Driver. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:46:02 PM PST US From: "Richard Goode" Subject: RE: Yak-List: Fuel Tanks The standard system is fitted to a number of 18 T during manufacture in Russia is very simple. The extra tank is 130 L, and shaped in a way to maximise the remaining baggage space; it's filled through the right-hand fuselage wall; the fuel goes to the same central fuselage collector tank, and because the rear tank is higher than the wing tanks, its fuel will be used first. So the system had no extra fuel gauge - the standard gauges read full until the fuselage tank was empty, and then began reading. The vent pipe for the tank was at the top of the fuselage behind the cabin.

It is totally automatic, and no taps or controls are added!!
