This thread is about testing the waters about the Market for a Removable Aux tank for the RV12. I am currently testing such a tank. Some points about the tank.
Remove it in 1 minute
Weight of all components including empty tank 9lbs
Labor to install all needed components 1 hour
Tank quantity is 6 gallons
Tank transfers its gas into main tank, time to transfer all 6 gallons is approx 9 mins
Inline fuel filter with clear case that can be seen from pilot seat, to verify when fuel transfer is complete
This will add 1 hour of extra flying time.
Fuel cost savings by not having to buy fuel when increasing flying time out and back for fly-ins which are farther away or if you live in remote regions of the US
Can actually remove Aux Tank to take down to local auto gas station to get gas to transfer back into main tank at hanger or on a X-Country
Aux tank is Fuel proof to ethanol
Aux tank is strapped down when installed
Kits contains hardware, fuel pump, wiring, tank, filter, fuel line, and directions for installing
So would this be something RV12 flyers would be interested in?
Thanks John
