Agreed, but it is another 5lbs of useless weight to carry around. I would be
inclined to mount it raised up 3" anyway.
BTW the PFA has suggested I would be at physical risk lifting a 25 ltr tank
into the aeroplane. The XS is 42 ltrs or 140 lbs ! So it would need to be
fuelled after it is in the cabin. Is any sort of extension hose sealable to
the inlet available ?
Can anyone send me a picture of this tank and its fittings ?
