You know, that tank that fits in the baggage area always looked pretty good to me.

I know this topic has been hashed out repeatedly in other threads... I just couldn't resist butting in. grin

It would be really cool if you could set it up with quick disconnect fittings, and only install it for long trips....



Ya know Steve, I have the plans for such a tank sitting right here in a drawer. It is so simple and easy. The problem is that you could never in a million years get it approved by the FAA. And the regs are very explicit about a fuel tank in the baggage compartment so it would be a way too easy "GOTCHA!". All it would take is one snitch to see you fueling a tank within the baggage compartment and go blabbing his head off. mad

Probably the reason so many people just decide to carrying jerry cans, huh?? So much safer!! whistle
