I recently showed my Europa Kit to an interested party who currently
operates a motorglider. He expressed an opinion regarding the lack of
access to the fuel tank. Part of the MG annual is to remove the
access hatch and remove the year's accumulated "gunge" which he
assured me was always a suprising amount. Despite Ivan's
protestations regarding the quality of modern fuel, lack of water,
changeable filter etc, it would seem to be another area where access
would seem to be sensible.
Can anyone with actual aircraft operating experience comment on this
either way please? Actually cutting a hole in the tank to fit a
sealed access hatch is a bridge I'll cross when I've made a decision.
At this stage I'd just like some accumulated experience to help make
the decision either way.
Cheers
