That may be true, unless you're building a U/L. One is still limited to 5 gal. of gas, and those tanks are rated for 13/pair, so the fuel storage is too large for an ultralight. It would be nice if they publicized the dimensions.

Mini Max sells pre fabbed wing tanks. Arnt mini max wing construction the same? Could be a alternative to building your own if you wanted to fork out the money.

Looks nice! Your use of long, straight wood slats to apply pressure to the ply is first class! My system wasn't nearly as sophisticated as yours, but it worked.

Thank you Les, I'll definately look into the VM26. But for grins, I'm going to check the gravity flow through volume throught the S&S float/needle/orfice and see if it can not be drilled out to provide 4 gph (I think that would be plenty for max flow) if not I'll order the VM26. Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Just saw your reply with the two seat-back tanks; for some reason it wasn't showing up when I clicked on 'new posts since last visit'.
Thanks; that makes it look like it could be feasible. If I build another LE, I'll try the idea, but my neighbor who's doing most of the construction on this one decided to just weld up a tank for the stock wing location.
