All
I worked a little in the hanger for John Hurst in August of 03. One of the
things
he had be do was to install an Aux-tank in the factory tri-gear demonstrator.
He told me that the company was developing it so the tri-gear had a long ranger
tank too. The tri-gear has a flat bed in the baggage bay, as you all know.
The new tank was much wider and just laid on the baggage bay and was strapped
down similar to the original aux-tank.
I don't know whether the tank was ever put into the inventory, but the kit I
installed
was written up like a regular Europa kit.
If any one is really interested I suggest they call Andy.

Hi! Ira.
I have a 9 IMP gallon full width long range tank across my Trike behind
the main tank bulkhead. It siphons in to the main tank and utilises the
Europa supplied priming pump to initiate the siphon.
Not wishing to leave an "Achilles heel" opportunity ...some would say
with a Jabiru 3300 that I need it !
Regards

Alan quotes Andy to the effect that the trike always ran out of petrol
first in a cross country....
Might have something to do with the extra tank capacity available for
mono's whilst we still
wait for it in trike's. I wouldn't mind an extra 10 US gallons (though
my
bladder might), especially
to meet IFR fuel reserve requirements (i.e., from primary to alternate
airport, thence 45 min
at standard cruise).
Also, having flown a bit with Jim, I could vouch for him not being able
to
wheel land ;-),
but then I certainly could not and would not try.
