Do it. Extra fuel in the plane adds to the time you have to make decent
decisions. Question: Would you like have 1 hr of fuel or 30 minutes near
the end of a flight where the weather is iffy or the only runway gets closed?
Putting in the bladder tanks was the easiest mod I did on my CJ. Took me
40 hours.

Hello Kelley-
Removal of old tanks, prep and install of the bladders is MUCH easier by removing
wings and flipping them upside down...no big deal. A reinforcing alum doubler
on the access panel is required to support the full bladder and can be riveted
in with pop rivets. The vent system, which uses the existing belly vent
can be made with off the shelf hose (Masthead) and a check valve; two toggle switches
and you can control the feed so no more asymmetric fuel issues. Up to
a 50% increase in range so to me it's a no brainer and worth the cost. With
a helper or two you can do this in a couple of days.

Kelly,
It's a good system, I have had them in one CJ and am installing a set now
in another. First one had some vent issues, but I think they have that
solved now.
