Okay, folks, any and all thoughts on adding fuel capacity to a (already flying) PA 11.
Plane currently has stock fuel system.
Adding a 12 gallon tank to the right wing seems most logical, and would offer enough additional fuel. Any idea of cost to install?
what about a combination belly pod with fuel? I know....no STC, but field approval of an 18 pod? This airplane has no electric, so pump would have to be manual.....doesn't scare me, one of the cubs I flew for a couple years at work had a 32 gallon Cunningham tank with a wobble pump.
Other ideas/thoughts? And, yes, I have played the five gallon gas thing in the back seat, but bear in mind these airplanes have tiny baggage. And, the gas bag I got from ABW leaks like a sieve from the cap, so only works well to fetch gas after landing.
Thanks,
MTV
