14 gal. Fuel tank

[moushegiancarl]

My '93 JT2  Thundergull came with an aluminum fuel tankIt is rated at 14 but seems to round out  to 15 when full.Itis wedge shaped and a very tight fit. Enough storage on top for a hat.There is a fuel cap outside the fuselage to the lower right of the engine.Supply line to the engine plus sump drain is underneath.It also has access to the back of the tank at the half way point,to tighten a bracket that clamps onto the chromoly tubing at the very aft end of the frame.    It appears to be the largest that could possibly fit unless you were to saddle the boom .     Carl

Hey Carl,



What engine are you using… and what have you found to be your GPH?



Thanks

Hi Carl
I like the light weight plastic 10 gallon tanks, there plenty of gas for the HKS.
Happy flying
